Although with Breen and Smith both being NHL defenceman with experience, I guess it's hard to justify calling up someone with limited experience, even if they have been the better player.

The Flames already have quite a few smaller, mobile puck moving dmen in Brodie, Gio (although he can handle himself quite well), Wideman and Russell. Butler doesn't add a lot of physicality either. With Smid still hurting, I think the Flames needed to add a big dman to replace O'Brien. Breen will likely be the 7th guy if Smid is healthy enough to go anyways.
