That's not to say that I think Smith is going to be a sub-.800sv% goalie, I don't. but the fact that he's played in only 1 game isn't by default any way to refute a claim that he's old (He is) or overrated (which depends on your evaluation of common sentiment and personal evaluation of Smith).

All we need is consistent, average goaltending from he and Lack and the team will be fine. I don't think anyone was under some preconceived notion that Smith would be a top 10 or even 20 starter. I don't think he's being overrated at all.
