Smith is also 40 and Campbell is 30.
Smith would have had to have gone 15-0-4 to match Campbell’s record in the difference in games. Campbell had a much better record which wasn’t close and a slightly better GAA but yeah the 0.01 difference in save percentage makes Smith better.
Campbell is a better goalie then Smith and the 10 year age difference is a reason why Smith was signing 2.2 M deals.

Devils advocate to your outline can talk about playoff success, to which Campbell has none. Campbell is a better option then Smith based on his age, the numbers are pretty close but to many different outliers to truly compare one vs the other. However does that mean Campbell is the right option? No, IMO.
