UFA's -
Elliot, Johnson, Bernier, Bishop, Miller, Darling, Mason, Condon, Kuemper, Kinkaid, McElhinney, Budaj, Nilsson
Lots of starter and back up options on the open market.
Teams with good tandems and can only protect one -
Colorado - Varlamov, Pickard
Pittsburgh - Murray, Fleury (NMC)
Detroit - Mrazek, Howard
Washington - Holtby, Grubauer
Nashville - Saros, Rinne (NMC)
NY Rangers - Raanta, Lundqvist (NMC)
Montreal - Montoya, Price (NMC)
Arizona - Smith, Domingue
Columbus - Bobrovsky, Korpisalo
Going to be a lot of options floating around out there in one way or another. I'm fine with re-signing Elliott anytime, but certainly have no problem with BT keeping his options open and keeping the pressure firmly on Elliott to perform down the stretch and in the playoffs.
