I personally think the roster is so good this year that they should make the playoffs no matter who is the coach.

Whether or not they make the playoffs is entirely dependent on the goalie.
The most under rated element of Bob Hartley's 14-15 season was his ability to know who was hot and who wasn't. He rotated Ramo and Hiller perfectly. One would falter, one would step up. He did that for six months.
If Smith doesn't get on track soon, we'll get to see if Peters has the same aptitude.
