Don’t really know tbh what assurances we would make to him or even Smith for that matter when he signed his new contract . Both keepers a good age and like Smith I noticed there’s been a few seasons a part from the last two Sallinger didn’t play much .
Not one player should get assurances that he's a guaranteed 1st pick, this is a team game and the best player in form at that time will be picked. Smith came in as a back up and due to Bursik being gash, found himself as the starting keeper, something he hadn't been for a good few years, he did reasonably well (got a new deal) and kept the jersey, if we sign a better keeper and Smith is then back to being no.2 then tough ****. This will be the case for all position, look at Nicky Cadden, our best player at the time, got injured, Obita came back in and took his chance, Cadden had to sit on the bench for the last good few games, that's how it works.
