It is true that our opinions differ, but I posit that yours is poorly informed. Mine is summarised in this discussion by the following comments:

It is preposterous to suggest that Elliott should be relegated to mop-up duties as a backup goalie. The Flames needed him to win a bunch of games in December and he delivered. The Flames will doubtlessly need him to win many more games down the stretch, and I am hopeful that he will return to the form that he has characteristically shown over the course of his time in St. Louis.
I am not opposed to re-signing Johnson for another two years, but this is not a question that should be breached now, and likely not until the end of the season.
