Right now Smith is likely to get a $5m per year contract from Slack. His resign value is actually $5.7m which means he'd probably have more value if Slack just signed him to a 4 year $5m per year deal and traded him paid for this year. Otherwise the person who trades for him will either lose him after one year or have to pay the higher resign value of $5.7m.
Only problem with a 4-year is Smitty is 36 years old, haha. Not sure he's going to be any good past next year, which still leaves 2 years left at $5m per!2 years at $10m per makes sense - and then trade him fully paid for, in exchange for some more youth. You're welcome for that tip Slacky!
Didn't you just land Z? Chara is like 41 or something! Typically goalies have a longer playing career than D, but I'll give you that Z may be the exception. Seriously, that guy ate his twin brother in the womb!!Anyhoo, I'm not thinking much beyond this season. Smith is the starter on a super-stacked team! I'm happy to be associated with him but I'll move him for a reasonable price. If you're serious about winning, a 300 point producer like Smith could put a contender over the top. Basically free of charge... for like a pick or a prospect. That's a win-win in my books. But yeah, fully paid for sure.
