I thought it was a fair trade. Smid is probably worth is contract, but I don't think he's worth a whole lot more than 3.5M. Good teams probably are able to develop guys like him during his cheap years. Flames were able to get his contract for a cheap price. I'm cool with that, but I don't think it's a steal. I think the Oilers got an equal benefit from the cap savings.

So is he worth his contract?
Or is he a mediocre, easily replaceable bottom pairing guy.
Because a mediocre bottom pairing guy that is easily replaceable is not worth 3.5 million to any team.
