So if you think Markstrom is a top goalie, Smith had similar seasons so he would be a top goalie as well. We paid a 3rd, Hickey and a backup form him.

A bit of a different scoring era back then. Smith was 21st in the league in save percentage amongst goalies who had played in 43% (35 games) or more of the 82 games that season.
Amongst goalies who have played in 26 games or more this year (43% of the games played) Markstrom is 10th in save percentage.
Smiths numbers from that season are more similar to a Pete Mrazek or a Stuart Skinner this year than they are Markstrom’s.
