Well, after all the exciting possibilities of who could be the next starting goaltender for the Calgary Flames, the club has settled on... Mike Smith?
The Calgary Flames have acquired 35-year-old Mike Smith from the Arizona Coyotes, in exchange for prospect D Brandon Hickey, the rights to Chad Johnson and a conditional third rounder. Arizona will retain 25% of Smith’s salary.
CGY/ARI have agreed to terms on trade involving G Mike Smith and have scheduled a trade call with league, tho nothing official until then.

Thoughts
Personally, I cannot say this was the approach I was hoping the Calgary Flames would take.
