Ive been told though the grapevine that Smid will not be back due to his injury.
Also, i dont think the flames should be spending cap on a goalie next year becaude there isnt anyone proven. If we spend 4m on a goalie like riemer and give him term...what happens if he turns into hiller? I think its better to give up a couple second round picks and take a chance on either of the young (and cap friendly) goalies in tampa or pitsburgh

This year they make a total of $1,850,000 together on their ELC. When they get they're new contracts, it has nothing to do with what they made before. Yes, that they make a raise of 10.5M together, but you don't subtract 2M from the previous year. It's a whole new contract. There isn't anyone proven on the market? Andersen, Elliot, Reimer etc.

What happens if those goalies turn into Hiller as well? They are way more unproven then guys on the market. Plus, I highly doubt teams are willing to trade up their upcoming goalies with a possible expansion draft.
