He's not an upgrade at all. He is 52nd in the league in GAA and 65th in SV% at .895. He's basically bottom of the barrel. He's so far down in the goalie stats you have to click to the second page on NHL.com
Johnson is 28th in GAA and 38th in GAA.
Johnson may be a bit of an upgrade to last year, but his stats are not great either and he's still letting in the softies. His stats are quite pedestrian when you cancel out his little hot streak he went on. He's an above average backup. He wasn't brought here to start though, so that says all you need to about Elliott performance to date.
