General manager John Chayka stated that, "If it's being viewed as me making Mike available and starting a bidding war, that's not the case."

Chayka went on to say that he doesn't "think anyone is untradeable." Smith recorded a .914 save percentage in the 2016-17 season, coupled with a 2.92 GAA, which was good enough for an All-Star bid. It's tough being a goaltender in Arizona, which is why he's so valuable to the organization. He only has two years left on his contract, though, where he's a $5.67 million cap hit. At 35-years-old, his value is high for a team that wants to make a deep run next season, but we will wait to see if there's a worthy offer that would also convince Smith to waive his no-trade clause.
