From the other side:
Craig Morgan @craigsmorgan
Coyotes GM John Chayka thinks there'll be opportunities for a No. 1 goalie when the protected lists are announced for the expansion draft.
"The reality is Mike Smith is a 35-year-old goaltender and when some of our players are reaching their prime years then he's probably on the wrong side of his career.
Until we determine exactly what we can do with these newly allocated resources, it's still to be determined what the real return is on this trade... This move wasn't made in isolation. It was made to set up other moves to improve our club."
