Comedy SILVER out of Calgary

This could be tragic comedy

I'd rather roll with Brian Elliott.

Tragedy + time = comedy

It's not terrible and I'm hearing that Hickey was likely not going to sign with the Flames, but I just don't like Mike Smith. Oh well.

Bobby Mac is saying that 3rd round pick will become a 2nd if the Flames make the playoffs next season. Woof.

Is that really a step up from Elliot?

Pretty much a lateral move, in my opinion. He does have some pretty good numbers career wise against the Oilers, but I don't like losing a 2nd rounder if the Flames make the playoffs (and they better make the playoffs in the division they're playing in next season).

I think this is a dumb trade and yet in a day where there's been 4 trades made/reported as done this might be the best of the 4.

Not sure why they'd make this move now...I feel like there will be some shifting in the goalie market post expansion draft. Also Mike Smith is 35. And mediocre.

Treliving has high praise for Smith, calling him one of the "best athletes" he's ever been around.

“He’s fit, an athletic freak. He can slam dunk a basketball. He takes batting practice with major league teams and hits the ball out of the park," said Treliving. "He’s a big guy who takes care of himself and he has low miles on his odometer. He has the best body of any goalie I’ve ever seen.”

How's his girth, Brad

Watch him sign with Chicago...

Sounds like Hamonic will wear #24 with the Flames.

/Wanted no part of #3

The following is shamelessly stolen:

I'm pretty sure Mike Smith was originally cast as General Zod's henchman in Superman II
