Great deal for the Flames. What Smid brings is exactly what the Flames have been lacking on the backend this season. I'd like it more at $2.5M, but a big gaping, huge, cavernous black hole has been filled.

I am higher on Horak than most too.

Smid is only 27 and is probably just entering his prime as a defenceman. One of the few guys that when I watched the Oilers I thought was a legitimate piece of the puzzle for them.
