I've been away all weekend so I'm sure this has been said ... but I can't for the life of me understand this from an Oilers perspective. They must really really like one of the two Calgary players because their D is thin and Smid was one of the only sure thing defenders they had.

Tanking?

But on the same day they go out and add to goaltending?

So strange.
Paging Sidney Crosby's Hat for comment please.
