TSN: Smid to Flames for Scorak and Brossoit

[Sean Monahan]

pretty meh price considering scorak was a trade bait and Brossoit was another organizational strong suit

to get a NHL quality defenseman for that, no complaints from me

I guess the management and coaches had enough of our incompetent defense of late

Ladislav Smid traded to Flames for Brossoit and Horak. #oilers #flames

I don't know too much about him, but has he earned that contract he has?
I doubt it.

 

[tyflames]

I just thought Bart for some reason. But a good trade on our part. We have a plethora of goalies

Great trade

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Rumor is Olivier Roy is part of the deal too. Even if it's just Smid, I love this trade.

 

[MarkGio]

This can't be right. Why would the Oilers do this? They need better defense and Smid has been quietly solid for them over the past few years.

Agree unless they want Eklbad?

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Smid still has lots of room to get better, should be a #3 in time.

 

[FLAMES666]

Awesome trade, have always liked Smids game.

 

[DCDM]

My initial reaction was upsetting because we lost Brossoit but that just shows how committed the org is to Gillies. Smid is decent, right?

 

[Yung Rotini]

The big upside to this trade is that when Gio back, we could say bye to Butler.

Giordano-Brodie
Russell-Wideman
Smid-Smith

Probably not, though. Smith will probably get scratched in favour of Butler.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Maybe they're trading Eberle for someone like Coburn, Schenn, or Meszaros? The Flyers would add more obviously.

 

[Sean Monahan]

we also got Olivier Roy back who would be our ECHL goalie replacing Brossoit

pretty much Horak for Smid, good job Feaster/Burkie!!

this marks the second trade, and win under the Brian Burke era

 

[tyflames]

Smid can be a top 4 us and this trade is a clear win in my eyes if that's all the pieces. I assume picks will be involved

 

[StreakingRed]

I like this deal quite a bit.

 

[Flamesarmstrong22]

Pretty great trade considering Horak was trade bait and was passed by in the organization by guys like Reinhart and possibly even corban knight and we have a plethora of young goalies so losing Broissoit doesn't hurt too much, especially if we also get Roy back in the deal like what is being reported.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Smid is a defensive dman too, is he not?

Joe Colbourne was the first trade.

 

[rasarhdasd]

He's a solid top 4 defensive dman, but offers literally no puck moving skills at all. But solid trade for you guys!

 

[Flamesarmstrong22]

With giordano out we desperately needed another D and even with gio back Smid will be a top 4 for us. It's also a good trade when you get your rivals arguably best Defencman. Great job Feaster/Burke!

Giordano, Brodie, Russell, and Wideman can all move the puck. The Flames need a defensive guy like Smid.

 

[Flamesarmstrong22]

I don't believe we have had a decent defensive and rugged defenceman like Smid since Regehr

 

[tyflames]

Apparently the oilers freed up cap to sign Bryzgalov. I think Dreger tweeted it
