Rittich/Gillies tandem seems likely. I’m not as concerned as I was last year in the same situation, as Big Save Dave looks way more comfortable now than he did at that time, and the team has demonstrated they can win in spite of subpar performances in net. It’s not like it was in previous years where a bad goal was basically game over.
It will really depend on how long Smith is out as well. If we’re talking a matter of months then yeah, maybe you look at the trade market or waiver wire. A few weeks, meh, play Rittich who has been good enough to give the team a chance to win, and give Gillies the easy matchups and go from there.
