How are Smid and Englland costing the team? Calgary has no better options on D the. Those two, so by default we are better with them than with out.

And 3 years on those terms are fine, especially considering our cap situation, it will take a while to grow, and we are also a team that can burry those contract 2 years from now if need be, so I'm not even sure what the worry is with these, regardless on the opinions of the players. These contracts aren't hurting us now, and have little to no ability to do so over the next 3 years so who cares?
