More to do with acquisition cost than performance between the two.
Its apparent to me that Flames mgmt. is going bargain bin shopping if they do anything at all.
things like Hoffman, Kane, etc are not of any interest at this time, but depth bodies are the desire.
Smith may not be something they need right now, but he is an NHL player with decent size and can play the game a bit.
Still of the opinion that Backlund cannot be allowed to test the FA waters and if isnt/wont sign before the 26th, they have to get what they can for him.
