No, there are no perfect goalies to replace with him with him, and the cost may be high, but you can’t just waste another year due to fear of the unknown. Like with Peters, there’s no guarantee the replacement will be better. But it’s hard to imagine it can get worse.

The season won’t be a write-off with Smith, but it sure can be a big missed opportunity in a league where windows come and go fast. We already wasted a year, let’s not be stupid enough to do it again.
