If Mike Smith is going to be traded this summer, the Arizona Coyotes now know from whom to take inquiries.
Smith, who has two years remaining on a deal that carries a cap hit of $5,666,667, has submitted a list of eight teams he is against being dealt to in accordance with his modified no-trade clause, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.

Meanwhile, LeBrun adds, John Chayka is in "listening mode" only, which falls in line with the general manager's recent assertion that while Smith is the team's rock, his standing isn't so firm as to render him untradeable.
"His value is extremely high but if someone wants to pay an even higher value for him, that's the industry," Chayka said.
Smith, 35, posted a record of 19-26-9 with a .914 save percentage in 55 appearances with the Coyotes this past season.
