Still only 29 years old. Smith might be too old and Riitich/Gillies/Parson not ready as starter next season.

I am not sure the Flames would be able to sign extensions for Bob and Tkachuk if they made that deal. Bobrovsky likely would become the highest paid player on the team and not ideal in my opinion.
If the Flames move Stone and Frolik there is some potential there but our weak prospect pool takes a hit giving up one of Valimaki/Andersson/Kylington along with one of our young NHLers in Bennett.
I would rather go with Smith this year and see what shakes out over the course of the season/summer
