I dunno..
Urbom didn't pass through waivers. I'd say they are pretty comparable.
I wouldn't risk it, plus with the praise Wiesbrod gave him in the offseason and the size he brings to the table there is no reason to risk losing him when Smith is the obvious choice for now.
The Flames are not in the business of losing assets for nothing..

When fully healthy O'Brien is the 7th best option we got on the backend. Until the youngsters are ready O'Brien is the best option. Smith can't seem to establish himself and Breen and Sieloff are fighting injury..
However I do agree because O'Brien isn't part of the ideal top-6 I envision for this team.... but we may need his bigger salary on the books for next season..
