Flames want size, youth, toughness, so this move although mediocre, is an improvement from where we were last week with Jackman.
I like that the Flames are not being static but being progressively fluid with moving out players that are post apex or not working out.
What message does this send to other players... if you start to stagnate the organization will move you to the AHL, press box or another team.
Get players who want to be here, are productive and hold potential. Sitting on your duff as an organization will not get you anywhere IMO.That includes Scrooge McDucking low draft picks.
So are the Flames stronger now that we have Smid and McDermid? I think so.
