Elliott's been dialed lately, I'll give him that. When a goalie is making blocker saves standing up, you know that puck is the size of a dinner plate to him.

I agree that the Flames will be patient and wait until at least after the draft to sign a goalie. But I am curious about how the goalie market will look this summer. Are there many better options to be available than Elliott? Are many of them likely to come at a similar cost relative to what he can deliver?
I maintain that the best option is for the Flames to extend both Elliott and Johnson, and stick with the tandem for the next two seasons.
