He also mentioned that you need two goalies playing well to get you deep. It's not a barb at Smith by any means, but he's stated exactly what he's looking for here, no? One is playing well. One is not and does not look to be getting back on track.
I think he is still a good influence on Rittich as seen by his improved confidence in puckhandling, and hope he can find his way and sticks around. But if he isn't capable of delivering as a veteran backup then he will be replaced by someone else.

Of course this will happen. NO ONE is disputing that. What I have consistently been challenging is the reactionary notion that a change in goal must occur now—that the solution is obvious and simple. It’s not. There are a lot of factors to consider as you have pointed out. I wish that posters would think more carefully about a lot of these things.
