The upside of Smith being as bad as he is, almost any goalie could be an upgrade.

I think our long term starter option is still Parsons, but he's not ready so all we need is someone to hold the fort. And I do t think we can afford to throw a lot of resources at this problem. We're already going to be short on cheap young guys to fill the bottom of the roster in the very near future.

I'd love Jimmie Howard. He's not great, but he's about as consistently decent as goalies can be. This team has already shown it can do some damage even with bad goaltending. Smith can be their tank commander. It's a win win.
