The Calgary Flames should know better than most NHL teams that riding one goaltender for too many regular season games never pays off in the end. We had a decade of that, and made too little of having the best goaltender in the world between the pipes.
I agree that signing a reclamation project was a bad idea - surely it was almost certain that Smith would have to play 70 games for the Flames to make the post season. Bad management decision.
