Smid is done. He took a hit from Raymond and lost half his strength per the other thread. His neck bulges and needs (needed?) spinal fusion surgery.
Even if he miraculously clears for play, we don't have room for both him and Eggs. Which means we likely ship him out. Why do that when his health is iffy at best and he is a new father?
I get he is a warrior and played through this when he was on the Oilers, but i believe he will sit on the LTIR for the rest of his time with the Flames both due to bodies and because it's the right thing to do. If he insists on playing, I think he gets moved.
