For those that somehow think this trade is contrary to rebuilding, here is a comparison of our D corp from last year and this year (ages are current):

Sarich 35
Bouwmeester 30
Giordano 30
Wideman 30
Smith 29
Butler 27
Brodie 23

Giordano 30
Wideman 30
O'Brien 30
Smid 27
Butler 27
Russell 26
Brodie 23

Adding Smid solidifies the D, allowing the organization the time to develop the kids properly instead of rushing them into the lineup.
