We have 7 defensemen and then question marks. Create some competition for those last spots.

Wotherspoon, Morrison, Hickey, Nakladal(sp?) etc. and the long shot prospects seems like great competition to me. Maybe not next year as most are still lots of time(there's still trade deadline if we need for the coming year) but in a few years when we seriously content, I'm sure they'll be fine competition.
That being said, I'm sure we'll acquire some good pieces at later dates too.
IMO, Smid is done. LTIR till retirement. But if I am wrong, he's not bad as a depth piece or sending him out in a trade is ok too. (I am leaning towards him retiring)
