John Gillies has a GAA over 4 and a SVP of .866. We can attribute some of that to a poor team in front of him but there's no way to deny those are god awful numbers.
Trying a guy who has played worse than Smith at a lower level seems like a weird tactic. And I don't think management is so desperate as to just "try something". The team is winning. Smith is winning more than he is losing in spite of poor play.
I'd like to see them get a new backup but I don't know how they do that. I also don't think we are going to see Smith waived despite calls for that to happen.
