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.
Eh, Gillies hasn’t been good at all but, again, they gotta try something in my opinion.

Regardless of everything, I think it’s good that our biggest point of contention with the team is how they are managing their backup goalie. Kinda a sign that things are generally going very well.
