It's possible, but man the games i watched this year of the Canes it seemed whenever i tuned in Darling was a joke or Cam Ward couldn't stop a beach ball. Smith had a great year this year, it's arguable if they had Peters this year and his hard work approach the Flames could have made the show. They have a lot of talent and skill, but seems they lack a bit of that hard work attitude. I think Peters will be a great addition for Calgary. We'll see though.People say this but...what if the bad goaltending was a result of a bad system? It's a two way street.

Nice pickup for the Flames. Really good coach who never had goaltending in Carolina. Let's see how Smitty does next year.

Well i believe Smith is on his last year...so yes they will have to pick someone up for sure. Can't rely on such an old goalie.Post-injury Smith wasn't a whole lot better than Darling unfortunately.
If the Flames really want to compete, they need a solid 1B-type in my opinion. Not a run-of-the-mill backup. Smith is getting up there and should not be expected to carry a 60-game+load.
I hope he does come to Calgary with Peters, it'd be kind of a full circle move for him too since his first assistant coaching gig was with the Flames back when Brian Sutter was the coachNot yet, I'd imagine he might actually head with Peters to Calgary. He was looking like a total genius in 15-16 and 16-17 with what the Canes defense did with as young a group as they had, but that regressed a bit this past season.
True, but he's one of the few goalies in the league who can be as big of a headcase in net as Darling. He better be ready to see tons of high danger scoring chances. We'll see though.Big difference is they have Mike Smith instead of Scott Darling. Assuming that they go out and acquire a 1B that's even replacement level they're in good shape.
We will rest in Peters. Thanks.RIP Calgary.
He already does. Smith was getting regularly shelled in his first few months in CalgaryHe better be ready to see tons of high danger scoring chances.
