Do you have any confidence in Smith winning a game where the Flames don't score 4+ goals? You don't see any reason why a team with Stanley Cup aspirations might want an upgrade on the worst backup in the NHL?
I doubt they do anything until closer to the deadline when teams like Carolina might be out of the race. But if Treliving isn't looking to upgrade the backukp position, he isn't doing his job.
