I think Fleury would have been a better option than Smith.

Not that I think Fleury is great, just that Mike Smith is in the twilight zone and historically players can fall off a cliff at any moment age 35 and up.

The key problem in acquiring Fleury might have been what Pittsburgh was asking rather than whether he would waive his no trade clause though.

I'm pretty sure Pittsburgh wanted to give Fleury to Vegas rather than surrender a roster player so that would reflect in their asking price for him from other teams.
