So good in fact that he could be a viable starter should Rittich falter (not that he will, but contingency plans are a good idea).
Other than that, McHardtospell is probably the best option, but I think the Hurricanes would be reticent to be rid of their de facto starter unless they are well out of the playoff hunt.

Could you imagine though
McAHL + Ferland for Smith and plus?
