At his age he could run the risk of being Kris Russelled in the open market.
He's a great goalie, but it's quickly becoming a very competitive position with a lot of good young goalies in most organizations.
Plus the expansion draft may have teams steering clear of signing a guy like Elliott so they don't lose a decent young goalie on their squad.
