1) Will this trade happen?
2) Who will trade for him?
 
He would certainly draw big interest as his game suits the playoff style game needed so I am sure teams have at least called to see what the price would be. While it might seem tough to trade one of your best player the Aves need to improve in many different area's (can you say goaltending) and Smyth isnt getting any younger. It will be a couple of seasons (or more) before they can rebuild to be a competitive team again and the fastest way to rebuild is to move your best guys and get a kings ransom in return. As to who would make the deal...I am sure there is no shortage of teams lining up for his services but the cap will play a big role in who can and cant realistically pursue him. But the Avalance must listen to all offers, they need several peices and Smyth can get them 2 or 3 very good younger peices so dont be surprised if they move him.
 
Colorado needs to make something happen, but I don't think this is it. If anyone trades for him, it would be Los Angeles or Anaheim.
