you forgot to say he will be a #1 centre in the NHL
And you forgot to say that he's the best defensemen playing in Europe.

Eagerly anticipating the day he signs an extension with the Flames.
He's stuck in David Schlemko territory. We have six defensemen under contract:
Gio/Brodie/Hamilton
Wideman
Smid/Engelland
Plus an irrational love affair with Kris Russell could make seven. Plus Tyler Wotherspoon will have to clear waivers next season too.
In order to extend Nakladal they need to move a body AND not re-sign Russell.

Smid was favoring his hand/arm when he left the game. Not sure if he has had previous issues with that though.Depending on how things work out, they shouldn't have an issue.
I've heard that if Wideman's suspension is reduced and he's back before the deadline, he will be traded. I've heard rumblings that they had a deal in place before he got suspended.
Russell is as good as gone and if Smid's injury is neck/head related, my guess is, he will retire.
THe FLames could probably re-sign him for 700k is they give him a 1way dealI've liked him a Wotherspoon, honestly.
It's exactly what you want from your bottom pair. Doesn't hurt you on the ice, brings something else to his game (Point Bomb) and of course, cheap.
I'd like Calgary to give the guy a little extension for about 1 million. He's a good skater and even a little physical. I have no complaints about Wotherspoon or Nak.
Could we please move Smido and not sign Russell. Please?

The rumblings have been from Friedman, who stated the Flames were talking to teams, but nothing was close, and interested team pulled back once the suspension was announced. A deal in place sounds like the internet telephone game at work.Depending on how things work out, they shouldn't have an issue.

Not chance Smid retires, regardless of the severity of his injury. Don't know why people even think that's an option. If he can't play, he'll be LTIR'd until his contract runs out because retiring would mean forgoing the remaining 4M in actual salary left on the deal. The fact that he also makes more in real money than his cap hit also makes him virtually untradeable.Russell is as good as gone and if Smid's injury is neck/head related, my guess is, he will retire.
