That said I don't believe the Flames will be looking for goaltending help at least this offseason as it looks like they are going to use 2013/2014 to find out if the two of their european prospects are the real deal.

It really depends on which way management is leaning. If their mandate really is to make the playoffs, I just can't see them going with a 33 year old journeyman and a complete unknown in net. The Flames will have more than enough money to throw at Smith to sign him if they want. I personally don't think they should, but it wouldn't surprise me at all.
