On the other hand, if he puts up another great season, we're probably looking at a $6m+ cap hit. We can probably sign him now for 4m-5m.
It all depends on what the Flames view Elliott's floor as. If they think at the very worst he will be 'average', they should try to get him signed now because he's already shown what his upside is.
The thing is the Flames just need him to be 'good'... being great would just be gravy.
