I am typically pessimistic when it comes to this team, but I am really quite satisfied with this trade.

Smith isn't the answer for this team, and he isn't expected to be. He'll be a short-term stopgap, but I think he will be a good stopgap.

I think the Flames are very high on Parsons and could see him take a similar path to somebody like Murray on the Penguins.
