Here's some interesting stats for you. In Bishop's four years in Tampa, 195 games played, he's had a .922 S% and a 2.24 GAA. In Elliott's five years in St. Louis, 180 games played, he's had a .925 S% and a 2.01 GAA.
Again, Elliott is terribly under-rated here.

Look at his numbers up until the moment he joined STL. They're Hilleresque.
And as pointed out by other posters he only played more than 50 games once. Less games and more rest and I'm not surprised his stats are a bit better. But I think we want a guy that's proven to be able to handle the majority of starts and maintain the numbers.
