Boom: Brodie and Bennett
Bust: Bouma, and one or two of Shinkaruk, Chiasson or Ferland. This depends on which of these players solidifies a place in the middle six.

I think this assertion is unbelievably off-the-charts exaggerated and misleading, and it raises the question for Elliot about what reasonable expectations are for him this season. So, what do you think is reasonable? For me personally, I don't see any reason to think that he won't maintain a +0.915 SP—something he has managed to do in four of his last five seasons.

I honestly think that most fans will be happy so long as he looks better than average on a nightly basis, which amounts to a colossal improvement on the goaltending from last year.
