It is beyond me how some posters are interpreting this trade as "Feaster thinks the rebuild is over". If anything, bringing in a 27 year old top-4 defenseman is part of the rebuild.... especially when we gave up a long shot goalie and a low-upside centerman who has been passed on the depth chart by Monahan, Colborne, Reinhart and Knight this year. Smid fills a big need. Horak didn't.
