If he's signed by any team next year, Mike Smith will be a third-stringer. The Flames certainly should not be looking to bring him back unless it is purely as AHL reinforcement. There are many other, better options for next year. As it is, they'll roll with him for now, but there will be pressure on Treliving to look long-term with his next goaltending solution. A 37-year-old Smith doesn't fit any part of that profile.
