So is the rumour that the trade is done or that they are working on it? Different animals in my opinion.
I can't get excited about Smith. Not at all. But if Bouma, Brouwer or Stajan are going back the other way, it could be first of a series of moves and could make sense. Retained salary alone does not help. Also makes sense if Treliving believes Rittich or Gillies are ready to be a back-up. I think Rittich deserves that shot, and if he falters, Gillies will get his chance too. Still though, nothing to get excited about. But then again, nor would Mason. Hope for the best.
