{allcanada} Oilers trade Smid to Flames for prospects

The Edmonton Oilers traded veteran defenseman Ladislav Smid to the Calgary Flames for two prospects Friday.

Smid and minor-league goaltender Olivier Roy went from the Oilers to the Flames in exchange for goaltender Laurent Brossoit and forward Roman Horak. Brossoit was playing with the Alaska Aces of the ECHL; Horak was with the Abbotsford Heat, the Flames' American Hockey League affiliate.

Smid had one goal and two points in 17 games with Edmonton this season. He joined the Oilers in 2006 and had 11 goals and 65 points in 474 games. The 27-year-old native of the Czech Republic was taken by the Anaheim Ducks in the first round (No. 9) of the 2004 NHL Draft.

Roy was drafted by the Oilers in the fifth round (No. 133) of the 2009 NHL Draft. He turned pro in 2011 and has split time between the Stockton Thunder of the ECHL and the Oklahoma City Barons of the AHL. Roy was 2-2-0 in four games with a 3.27 goals-against average and a .897 save percentage with the Barons this season.

Horak, 22, has spent the past three seasons with the Flames organization and had five goals and 18 points in 82 games with Calgary, including two goals and seven points in 20 games with the Flames in 2012-13. He was selected by the New York Rangers in the fifth round (No. 127) in the 2009 NHL Draft.

Brossoit, 20, spent the past four seasons with the Edmonton Oil Kings in the Western Hockey League, with an 88-34-13 record in 146 games. He played two games with Abbotsford and three with Alaska this season, his first as a professional. The Flames selected Brossoit in the sixth round (No. 164) of the 2011 NHL Draft.
