I like that deal a lot. My guess is negotiations with Hickey were not going well.

Have to think the condition is if Hickey doesn't sign with them.
Love the value Treliving got on this.

If you want to take potshots at CGY for Smith, do it for his age. Harping on unadjusted Sv% won't get that argument where you want it to go.

I don't believe in small samples, but here is Smith against Antti Raanta, another rumored target for CGY:

Stats...notice how all the guys people like are on good teams.
Smith will be really motivated playing for an actual NHL franchise IMO

Good deal, keep our first now and draft a solid prospect and get to have a stop gap goalie for 2 years until Gillies/Parsons hopefully take over. Losing Hickey sucks but obviously he wasn't gonna sign here.

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.

How about Hunter Smith for Mike Smith? Seems fair.

Chad Johnson going the other way because the coyotes on have 1 goalie that they can expose/protect

I really liked Hickey...didn't realize he wasn't going to sign. But in that case we basically gave up nothing for Smith. Nothing is good.

All the panic for nothing. The lack of faith in Brad here is disturbing.
It's reasonable ASSUMING that Hickey was reluctant to sign.

Johnson in the deal makes sense, Arizona would have needed another goalie for expansion draft requirements

So now they protect Johnson and still expose Domingue?
They can't expose a pending UFA in Johnson, but they can protect him.
Must be confident Domingue won't be taken by Vegas, which seems reasonable.

Still a liability at that price. But it could be worse I guess.

#Coyotes receive rights to goalie Chad Johnson, Brandon Hickey and a third-rounder that becomes a second-rounder if CGY makes playoffs.
Reminder that 3rd is likely the same pick that the Flames would have had to give up if they re-signed or traded Elliott

Was really hoping for Grubauer or Raanta but the acquisition cost for Smith is extremely palatable. Dude was selected for the Olympics 3 years ago. If we can get that Smith behind our D this could be good.
