The Conrad Black of the Hockey Section. Lord Northside of Welland. It's Father's Day and I'm in a good mood, plus I just scored a fine pair of Timberland boots at the local flea market for $10 USD so I'm feeling good and ready for the challenge:
"A good move for Cal" ???
1) Seems like Calgary gave up too much for what they got.
2) Smith has been in the playoffs twice since 2006. (Of course that is not his fault)
3) 35 years of age is not considered the prime of life for an NHL goalie.
4) Stats don't mean much when you play for Arizona, but .914 and 2.92 are not Hall Of Fame numbers. (.913/2.70 career) 
5) Good puck handler for sure. No disputing that and he can entertain the crowd between periods with his trick shots
6) He was about 6th on the Calgary list of goalies they were going after. Welcome to Calgary. 

Bottomline: Calgary gave up too much to obtain an older Elliott. He'll be 36 just in time for the playoff grind.
