Spitballing here but if the rumours are right and smid won't play again, wonder if we can do a Clarkson for Horton type deal and make it work to our advantage. We throw in Raymond as well to shed that deal but LA gains cap relief with Smid on ltir. Something like
Raymond
Smid
15 overall
For
13 overall
Richards
2nd rounder in 2015
We gain a couple of spots in the first round and pick up a second rounder. LA takes on Raymond's deal which expires before Richards and gain cap relief with Smid. Probably not enough from our perspective but thought I'd float it out there.
