Smith makes 500K a year more than Toffoli.

So not surprising that the Flames got more, Toffoli is a much better player on a cheaper contract.

Smith has another year on his current contract though. You can debate whether that makes Smith worth more or not. But if Toffoli had 2 years left on his contract, I doubt he gets traded this year.
