A bonified starter... The 1a/1b thing wasn't working... There's nothing on the market... 4.5M isn't horrible... Only thing that concerns me is the injury history. Time for the stable of goaltenders to start pushing for a backup job. Smith will earn every penny with starts and the added pressure of being in a hockey market. At the best it could be a Dubnyk like situation... at the worst it will be a Hiller situation, which means it can't get worse than it already was. Flames need to get rid of Siglet though. Let's face it, it's not like we were going to get Price or anything, it's a stop-gap to having one of the young guys take the #1 job. It works.
