What I can't find an example of is a team trading for a rental goalie who takes them across the finish line that year. Or even a non-rental.

Because that to me is the main missing piece. Not that Rittich hasn't been good and not that Smith has no game left ever, but obviously there are questions for both. The dilemma is that you normally have to get lucky and draft a goalie or trade for a backup who blossoms suddenly. It's pretty rare to trade for a prime stud goalie.
