I know Ottawa was bad last season but really they weren't that great defensively the year they got to the finals and Craig Anderson bailed them out with a stellar 2.28 GAA and 0.926 SV% at 35 years old. A season later his play took a massive nose dive to 3.32 GAA and 0.898 SV% and while you can't paint every player by the same brush this is likely going to happen to Smith and it could be any time. We just have to hope he can hold it off one more season but personally I feel the team needs to move on from him after this season regardless.
