I'm far from convinced that Horak and Brossoit were any more valuable a year ago either.
Usually I quite like your posts but this one is a real headscratcher.

Not to mention that Smid is only 27, which is like a coming of age for many defensive defensemen. He may have been a 3-5 for most of his career, but I can see him flirting on the top pairing on this team.
