Treliving brought these goalies in but both Smith and Elliott faltered. And I dont think thats squarely on Treliving. If both goalies could have had a GAA and S% somewhat close to their career average numbers these talks wouldn't be happening.

Would be really silly to fire Treliving over this. His positives FAR outweigh the negatives IMO.

But yes, Smith now for a long time just isn't capable of being a starting goalie.

I believe Treliving is exploring options.
