Replacing Smith with Lyon seems like a huge and unnecessary risk right now.
Smith has had a tough start, but the team has also been far from stellar defensively in front of him. He has bounced back with two great games now.
We all saw what happened when Rittich was given the reigns last year. Trading a guy you know can play 40-50 quality games for a guy with 11 career starts just screams panic move.
It’s not like Lyon is a cant miss prospect or has dominated the AHL either. Other than this year he has comparable numbers to Gillies.
