There was something almost inevitable about acquiring Smith.
Proven starter.
Term left on contract is just right.
Treliving's history with the Coyotes.
Hate to give up the 2nd, but the cost wasn't outrageous for a starting goalie. Salvaging something for Hickey is shrewd. The Hickey situation demonstrates drafting college-bound players does carry a risk. Not a Russian/KHL level of risk, but still a risk.
