There's a bunch of goalie coaches who concentrate on positive mental aspects, as opposed to technique (although they do that too). Some of them have degrees in psychology.
Maybe that's what Smith needs.

I'd pay a lot to get Mitch Korn, who's followed Trotz around from team to team. you can't argue with his track record. Hasek, Vokoun, Rinne, Holtby. Of course lots, if not most, of that is the talent of the goalies, but he sure didn't stifle or thwart that talent.

Last year, before Korn got to NYI with Trotz, Greiss was .892. This year so far he's .940. Lehner has improved from .908 with Buffalo last year to .924 in NY.

If not him (because he's so tied to Trotz), maybe one of his coaching students.
