I don't recall that. Is there a source for that rumour?
He is right though. Based on games played, Elliott has rarely been a #1 goalie and the teams he has been on have always been eager to improve in net to where he would get upstaged by the back-up.
Even his contract would suggest that he isn't paid like a sure-fire #1 goalie by today's standards.
He was a low-cost stop-gap, but I don't think he is a solution in net for this team any less than Johnson.
