I agree with an earlier assessment (can't remember where from) that Nak and Wotherspoon, the two D that we're "kinda-sorta" penciling in, are likely waiting on the medical results from Smid first. Brad is probably leveraging the lack of cap space - "Come on boys, we gotta get Johnny and Mony and there's practically scraps left anyways if you wanna stay", but Wotherspoon and Nak have been told by their agents not to commit to the lower offers until the situation with Smid is made clear. I'm sure they'd love to stay with the Flames, but that's an extra 3.5 million of cap space that could be milked from the Flames if Smid starts the season on LTIR.
