Maybe this is slightly old news and most may know this but I was curious about Smid and didn't find a lot of confirmation (until I looked around) so to benefit all who haven't heard...
Just to confirm... just at the very tail end of the presser held by Tambo today he was asked how was Smid's knee and he said as far as he knew he was "good to go".
Also confirmation in this article...

“I had a contract there until the end of December,” Smid said. “This happen the first or second week in December. I know the doctors here so came back and I went to the doctors I know. I had an MRI on it and did some rehab at the U of A, because I couldn’t go to Rexall or see any of our trainers.
“It’s good now, I’m skating and I’m working out, so I don’t have any problems. I’m just trying to stay in shape and trying to get ready if camp starts.”

It's good to see that he's going to be ready to go from the start of the season because he's such a critical piece to the defense.
