It is way to early however as of right now, there is no question that he made the right choice. I also thoroughly enjoy Smiths compete level. The guy hates to lose and wears his emotion on his sleeves which is rare and can be detrimental to a goalie but has worked out well for him.
I also didn't factor in just how big it would be for this team to have a goalie who can play the puck! There has to be 6+ pucks stopped behind the net for a flames breakout that would have resulted in the other team cycling it in our zone without Smith.
