Because that's a very real possibility as well.

Smith has played 19 playoff games, and has a 1.88 GAA and a .945 save % in those games.
Elliiot has played 41 playoff games, has a 2.60 GAA and a .908 save %.
Smith's a good goalie playing on a bad team. Now he's on a team that can make the playoffs with average goaltending. He's better than average.
