I think I'd be okay with Smith as a plan B or C, but I don't know if I'd want to see another full season with the Rittich/Smith tandem.

I'm not sure I liked how the team played in front of Smith vs how they played in front of Rittich. Maybe a little too passive for my liking. Stopped skating. I think it might be better for their overall game and player development to take the puck playing goalie out of the equation. But I also understand they (management/coaches) love having that option.
