While not my most favourite of moves I am not completely disappointed with it. I think Smith is a proven #1 and is far more consistent goalie than Elliot. I loved the Elliot pickup and we all know how that worked out. He's a stop gap and as far as that option goes I don't see any better options. I wanted a younger backup but the Flames must have faith in the depth they have.
Let's see how it goes, should be fun at least. I can see him hitting Gaudreau with a few stretch passes throughout the season.
