I really think this was a great trade for Calgary. Horak is a fringe NHLer at this point and unlikely to ever be a solid regular in the league. Brossiot reminds me so much of Keetley and was an expendable piece for the Flames. Smid is a valuable player now and moving forward. He is only 27/28 and the guy lays it all on the ice. He is a warrior, big body that will hit and block shots all game long. It still surprises me that Edmonton would part with one of their only gritty players but they needed to sign Bryz
