It doesn't take anything close to Andersson + 3rd to take Smith and only get a 6th back.
OTT needs to hit the cap floor, and their owner loves to take on players with high cap hits but low actual salaries. In this case, Smith's actual salary after he gets his signing bonus paid on 7/1, is only around 3 mil, vs his 4+ cap hit.
Smith possibly goes to OTT after 7/1 for a late 2021 draft pick straight up. Worst case scenario, the Rangers have to add a 4th or 5th to Smith in exchange for a 5th or 6th.
