Smid has been a starter when healthy the last two seasons, but he hasn't played a full campaign since 2011-12, and now has a deeper blue-line corps to contend with in the fall. The Flames' top five defensemen are basically set in stone, so it will be up to Smid to prove he can take that sixth or seventh spot among the likes of Deryk Engelland and Tyler Wotherspoon. He certainly provides a veteran presence, but he may be on the outside looking in when the season starts.
