Otto-matic: Didn't make it sound like a season ending injury, but could be longer than expected. What is Rittich's waiver status? If he requires them, then they're better off not adding a vet to the roster if Smith is due back this season. Just ride it out. If he doesn't require them, then they'd send him down and we'd go with Smith & whoever I assume.

That all being said, if they are looking at veteran help knowing Smith's status I would suggest they don't have 100% faith in Rittich or are concerned that he could get hurt too.
