I'm sorry, but I don't agree at all that changing the backup alters the team all that much. You just don't normally see a back-up with this much rope and the press that follows it

Look at literally the entire NHL. Theres tons of options well above Smith that could be had for pretty damn cheap.
The point is, a back-up better than Smith isn't going to cost a whole lot or impact the team all that much.
