Carter's remaining years on his contract align with the Flames window, it is an interesting move. It definitely would allow us to have a deep top 9, not sure that package (Smith has no value) gets it done, but I would find Carter intriguing.

I'm just not sure why the Kings move Campbell. Their patience has finally been rewarded with him, I'm sure they want to see what they have in him.
They could easily move Carter and/or Campbell without taking a salary dump in return.
Carter is worth a first easily on his own.
You would be basically getting Campbell for the negative value Smith.
