What's kind of insane to think about is that the Flames defense put up stupid good numbers with that goaltending. Imagine what they'll be like with Elliott back there, not having to cover for Hiller or Ramo?

Agreed. The trade was massive for the team's immediate future/outlook.
Though, not to name any names
But I hope that after so much emphasis on having active D and using the rush, that the Flames are a little more structured in their defensive game and at least help out Elliot more than last year's tandem was, despite the at times abysmal quality of play from them.
