They'd waive Smith and send him down unless someone else wants goalie insurance.
I'm assuming you can sign Talbot for a decent 1B wage. He's only had two bad years, both with a terrible, no defence, team. He is 31, but that's not that old for a goalie, especially one with only 5 NHL years on him.
I was a huge Gillies supporter but I'm really wavering on him ever making it. I think he's caught between Rittich and Parsons.
Give, however, the fact he's a UFA, I think you just wait and see if Gillies improves in the season.
