This makes very little sense: how does Elliot's cap hit have any impact on the team after the deadline? The only way either goalie is traded before the draft is if the Flames suddenly find themselves out of contention for the playoffs, and I can't see that happening. There is no way this team goes into the post season with a rookie NHL goalie in his first NA pro season on the bench.
