Trading down for Smith would make me lose all faith in the team's management. Most I would offer for Smith would be Stajan and Raymond, but the Coyotes would need to retain 1.5m to compensate for the term. As it stands, Mike Smith has one of the worst contracts in the NHL.
Smith+8 OA for Hickey+35 OA would be closer than Smith+8 OA for 6 OA considering Smith's contract and the fact Arizona wants Domingue to be their guy and they are a budget team.
