If you're trading for Mike Smith, it's because you think he's the final piece to the puzzle in terms of a Stanley Cup, but at 35 and with two years remaining on his deal, that's an awful lot of promise to place on the shoulders of the guy. I get that he's kept Arizona from being Colorado bad, but at the same time, he has the luxury of playing in a defense first system that Tippett utilizes. Don't forget that this is also the same organization that made Ilya Bryzgalov look like a superstar and we all know how that turned out.
