Agree or disagree, perhaps because it takes the (arguably) wrong (arguably GM / loyalty/ whatever based) decision out of the coach’s hands (and forces him to accept the statistically getter goalie as starter, independent of ego / contract / whatever else situations)

I think Smith is better than his recent stats imply, but surely you can’t fault the end result if thinking Rittich may be the better goalie, just the means.
I think it is possible for Peters to make the right decision on the starting goalie (Rittich) without being happy about Smith being injured. That was the point I was trying to make in response to Hackey's post.
