And I also think that it will be tough to acquire a quality goalie mid-season. I don't even think Allen is realistic. Who are the Blues going to use then?
I see the options as follows
- Let Rittich run with the ball. See how he does
- Sign a guy like Mason (barf) or Lehtonen (less barfy). Lehtonen has had conditioning issues in the past though and I'm not sure if could step in
- Scour the league for a guy sitting 2nd or 3rd in the depth chart who could perhaps step up.
- Sign Freddie Brathwaite. Worked before.

The list of trading partners for Smith is sooooo small. You need a team with a good goalie you want, cap space for Smith for one year, who isn't a contender (and therefore needs their good goalie) and sees a reason to do the deal.
