Elliott is a good goaltender and I think they could re-sign him for what Hiller got: 4.5/year for 2 years.
One thing that is purely speculation from my part is that having a child has messed with his game. Some of you may roll your eyes at that but having kids drives people differently. Combine that with a different defensive system to him and the team... and you'll have an all-star goaltender do a nosedive.
You'd obviously have to partner him up with a 1B-type though.
