Horak is tough to place, jack of all trades master of non type of player, I hope he finds a spot with Edmonton though, good player, always liked him.
The goalie thing just seems like a pure toss up, dufas-for-dufas. Broissoit is okay but Gillies is probably going to be the guy for Calgary.
Flames probably win this deal, a fringe maybe NHL'er for an NHL'er always wins, even if I'm not a huge fan of the NHL player.

Horak was starting to remind me a lot of Dustin Boyd. You wanted to like him, and he tried his best, but could never seem to shed that 'tweener' tag. Smid addresses a major glaring need on the Flames' blueline.
