LH shot for RH shot and both are Free Agents at the end of the season. Smith has been relegated to bottom pairing in Detroit due to the amount of LH shots and lack of RH shots that they have. Change of scenery likely does both players well.
I feel like Smith could be a good partner for Hamilton, leaving Jokipakka, Nakladal (re-signed), and Engelland to share the bottom pairing.

Smith took a big step in the right direction this year. I watched a lot of Detroit games last season. He cut down the stupid penalties and played a very steady physical game. I would love him in a Flames jersey.
His coach played Eriksson over him most of the time which drove Det fans nuts. Smiths advanced stats are also pretty solid.
Thing is I'm not sure Det would want Wideman with Green there. They are pretty much the same type of player.
