The Flames currently don't have a goalie that is in need of protection, so why wait on Elliott?
I wouldn't be surprised if the league puts in some kind of rule to discourage pending UFAs from re-signing with their current teams after the expansion draft. Seems like a way for teams to loophole around the expansion draft rules.
