And maybe, just maybe, killer_carlson is wrong, and the Flames could not have got Smith straight up (no salary retained) for the draft pick alone.
Yeah and maybe they have information on the next nuclear holocaust? I mean, since we're tossing out outlandish hypotheticals.

Vegas would take a number of players before they take Stajan.
