That looks almost reasonable. Are you sure this isn't an April Fools joke?

Pretty good deal I think - I would expect he's worth a touch more, maybe ~4M, on the market. Decent second pairing defenseman.

Pretty solid deal for both sides. Oiler fans must like this one.

Thats not a bad signing. I don't like it because the Oilers have done something right for a change. Hope this does not become a trend for the Oilers.

It's possible to sign a player without a NMC/NTC? Who knew?

Love this signing at the price. I thought he might get $4 million. Smid is better than you folks give him credit for.

Smid is a pylon and amazingly overrated by Oilers fans. Good to see he will be on Edmonton for another 4 years to watch Flames skate around and then see him pretend to be tough when the refs show up.

Huh? Butler might not be as bad as some suggest but if Feaster signed him for 3.5 this place will explode.

Edmonton did better on the Pronger trade than we did on the Phaneuf trade.

That was still the Oilers worst trade in franchise history.

We got Eberle and Smid for a guy who wasn't playing another game with us. Worst trade in Oilers history? Give your head a shake

Well they've been the most embarrassing franchise in professional sports since that trade.

At least when they traded Gretzky, the still made a couple of conference finals appearances and won another cup.
