A controversial debate has emerged over whether the New York Rangers should begin playing goaltender Alberts Smits in the American Hockey League instead of the NHL. The discussion centers on Smits’ recent struggles in net, including a series of poor performances that have raised questions about his readiness for top-tier competition. Analysts argue that a stint in the AHL could help him regain confidence and refine his skills before a potential return to the Rangers’ lineup. The move would also create an opportunity for another goaltender to step into the starting role at the NHL level.
