It's hardly an exciting move to be sure. But if Hickey wasn't likely to sign, it is a case of recovering value out of the asset while they could.
Its not that long ago when everyone was wondering why the Kigs were too stupid to go and get a goaltender. Eventually they proved the answer was inside the organization. I hope it's the same case with the Flames.
If Smith is solid and Parsons, Rittich, or Gilles emerge than it could be a case of the best deal you make is the one didn't.
