I think it has more to do with being opportunistic and capitalizing on another team doing strange things. Any time you can improve on a long term basis it is a good thing. Smid is definitely young enough to be a solid 3/4/5 for the next handful of years while we figure out the whole D prospect pool. It's sort of like replacing Sarich with a younger version of that type of guy.
