Do people really think the Smith deal wasn’t a good one?
If he hadn’t addressed the tending a have a feeling you would be destroying him over that

In order to get to the point that the Flames have a 36 year old goalie to lead a young team into the future they made the following moves
Traded the 34th overall pick and a conditional 3rd that did not come to pass for Brian Elliott.
For Smith they have now appeared to have traded roughly the 72 overall pick and Hickey (former 3rd)
The Sharks traded the 29th overall pick and a former 5th rounder.
Brad gave up more to fill his goalie spot than the Sharks did. He also gave up more than the Oilers did for Talbot.
I would rather have Jones than Smith. Would you rather have Smith?
