We definitely can't win them all. However Smith is definitely a concern for this year. Especially how he has been less than average since his return from injury.
Fact is even within our own Western Conference, the only teams whom have a worse number 1 goalie would be the Canucks (Maarkstrom) and possibly the Blues (Allen). One could argue Bishop in Dallas is comparable but at least he is younger than Smith.
League wide Smith is not a top 20 goalie. He is in the between top 25 to 28th ranking IMO as far as a number one goalie.
