Had a couple average seasons at 23/24 (his rookie and sophomore year), a bad season at 25, and has been fantastic ever since.
Pretty damn good for a 9th round draft pick.
Safe to say Hitchcock and Elliott benefitted each other, since CBJ weren't all that good at keeping the puck out of the net during the last few years Hitch was there.
