I'd personally be very upset if Smid was traded prior to becoming a valuable hockey asset again. I hate when pro athletes are seriously injured and in the worst period of their career, unsure if they will ever play again but doing everything to make it back, and then their team gives up on them before they had the chance to prove it.
That said, a healthy Smid could have been slightly difficult to move, but an unhealthy Smid is not going anywhere workout taking on some sort of baggage. And that doesn't sound like BT's shtick.
