Assuming trade call gets done, ARI to retain 25 per cent of Smith's salary. CGY will send rights to Brandon Hickey + conditional 3rd rder...
Dealing another pick away?

Ugh.

Retaining 25% helps a bit but losing Hickey sucks, though I have little doubt its because Treliving figured he couldnt get him signed here.

All in all though there isnt a huge price being paid here so i guess its an OK deal....and can get better depending on Smiths performance.
