Probably the bigger piece to the deal is the Bruins free up around $4 million in dead weight cap space because of Savard's injury problems. Career got derailed once he became concussion prone and hasn't played a game since the last time they won the Cup.
Also freed up another $3 million by getting rid of Smith.
