I just don't think the gap between him and Elliott is large enough to justify the acquisition cost, age, and cap hit.

Mason makes more sense. Him, Elliott and Raanta seem like the most reasonable options at this point.
I'd take Smith only if it's a cap dump type deal, whereby the Flames pick up a second or third round pick plus Smith in exchange for a Bouma or Chiasson type asset.

I actually like the player but that cap hit is massive for an old man.
