We have lots of prospects in the system that look good, chances are one of them is a player in 2 to 3 years. You have a better goaltender, in Johnson, who can be had on a shorter term deal for reasonable dollars. Elliots chance for a lucrative long term deal have evaporated with Calgary, he may get one from some other team this summer saying his numbers in Calgary were a result of a bad team.
I have always thought the Flames either extend him because he is playing so damn well or he goes some where else in the summer. Flames won't enter a bidding war for him in the summer even if he has a ridiculous good second half.
After expansion there will be more clarity and opportunities in the crease for Calgary.
