There was talk of signing Smith to a 1 million a year deal next year. But seeing as Kostinen is obviously (always was) not a legit #1, the Oilers best move would be to sign a more reliable 'back-up'. And they hope he is lights out and takes the role from Kostinen. Either a young guy or a reclamation project like Talbot. Aside from two players, their offence and defence is so terrible I can't see them spending big money on a goalie.
