Rather than mismanaging Smith the Flames have gotten a great season out of Rittich.
The Flames brain thrust obviously has BSD on a game count so that he he has the best chance to perform his best in the playoffs.

Yep, challenge the flames have if Rittich hits a wall and starts to struggle (i.e. played to many games)
Can Smith regain his form....
