Guys like Smith, Elliot and Hiller are all pretty average and flawed goalies to begin with. And being vets, it's not like Sigalet would be teaching them anything new really. He might be able to point to mistakes or work on conditioning, but that stuff is pretty standard stuff. Smith is probably stuck in his ways at this point.
Rittich is a younger goalie and would benefit more from a teacher, and he has taken a step forward this season.
I worry more about Gillies and Parsons stalling out.

I think Gillies is already stalled going nowhere, and Parsons will probably join the long list of promising goaltending prospects that fail to make any kind of impact in the Flames system. The Flames inability to develop goaltenders in-house is their biggest failing as a franchise since the early 90's basically. They are one homerun trade by Sutter away from having the worst collection of goaltenders in the NHL for the past 30 years
