The goalies in Stockton are worse than Smith right now.
Flames have no option but to give Smith a long rope. It’s not about them not seeing what we see or having some undying loyalty to a former Coyote, it’s about there not being very good alternative options.
The big kick in the balls is Gillies. He was suppose to be close. Instead, he’s worse than Smith in the AHL than Smith at the NHL level.

I would easily give up a 2nd round pick for Kuemper right now.

So you’re comfortable/confident that the team in front of him can continue to put up 5 or 6 goals when he frequently has a bad game? I’m sure the hell not.
