Great trade for the Flames! Holy smokes, this is all win. The move is essentially Horak for Smid as the two goaltenders are a wash. That's a massive win for Calgary. A top four defenseman for a depth player who was trapped in theAHL. The Flames might also get the edge on the goaltending side from a skill level, but the Oilers score a fan favorite from the Oil Barons, so that will but them more good will with the yokels. Win for the good guys! Another loss for the Oilers!
