Either Robak or Olsen would be a decent option on a claim through waivers. The Flames could always waive any of the current 5-7 players on defense, or the guy we would have just claimed, once Smid gets better.

At worst those two guys would be solid 6-7 guys for the next little while. The Flames do not exactly have a ton of depth on the back end, so these two would help to improve it a bit.

That doesn't mean that they must stay forever, but depth never hurts, especially when you're in the hunt for a playoff spot. I would easily rather have either of the waiver guys than Spoon/Potter as the insurance D-man for the rest of this season (only because Spoon hasn't played much at the NHL level).
