I don't like this idea bojo, but I also don't fully understand what you're suggesting... Would this mean the goalie in question would just be left on both rosters?

Essentially. But as we can see from Texas's 17 goal games the backup is never played.

It doesn't matter who the backup goalie is for when the actual starter play. My idea just simply skips the "calling up goalie, sending down goalie" part of playing backup goalies that are in the SMJHL. That way SMJHL goalies just have to play 44 (50-6) games and not have to worry about when to play. Like JR has said, teams are already playing a goalie in SHL and then sending them back down the same day to play in SMJHL anyway.
