No way should the Flames sign Elliot until after the trade deadline IMO. One of the best parts of acquiring him at such a cheap cost is the Flames have all kinds of flexibility. If Pitt is screwed at the deadline because their goaltending tandem both look so solid then Fleury for Elliot gets done with ease (depending on how many teams need goalies) the Flames could even get additional assets.
Elliot is a good starter to go into the season with but he is also a good trade chip to swap with another team that has 2 very good goalies come the deadline
