I have no problem with Elliott. To me, it's only been the most recent games where he looks to be contributing to the losses. Prior to that he was the primary reason we were even playing into the 3rd. I don't blame him one bit for looking uninspired lately -- as the whole team has, and it has to be pretty exhausting at this point.

I also hope that Johnson is kept around as well. He's looked great in games and I definitely see some promise there.

Neither have stepped up to be a bonafide long-term solution but neither has the revolving door. We have a few prospects that could step in given time, so looking for 1-3 year solutions should be our focus. Elliott and Johnson are absolutely goalies we can rely on if we had a playoff team infront of them.
