Yeah, but in true Vancouver form there's an actual goalie controversy there. Markstrom is the presumptive starter but it wouldn't take much to supplant him. Smith would have to be pretty consistently bad for Lack to take his job this year. Not that it can't happen, but it's much less likely. Smith can afford to use the preseason as a warm-up, whereas Nilsson's in a job interview every time he takes the ice.
