After smith is paid his signing bonus, OTT would only have to actually pay Smith ~$2M even though he carries a high cap hit, so Smith is exactly the type of player Ottawa would be willing to take on.
If they value Georgiev enough, I think this deal works, if not then they are doing the rangers a pretty big favour for nothing. The jump from Dallas' 3rd round pick to Ottawa's 2nd is pretty significant considering they are freeing up $4M in cap space for the rangers. I don't know if Georgiev makes up that gap.
