Would I mind Elliott at 3 years $10M? No. But I still don't have confidence in him as a 60+ game starter.

Neither do I, but here is the thing: I don't believe that the Flames should be in need of a 60+ game starter. The moment they are is the moment that they are not in a position to be a Stanley Cup contender. The trend in today's NHL is moving away from big minute starting goalies, and more to a tandem with goalies splitting games in ratios of 55-60 and 25-30.
Ideally Elliott should never need to play more than 55-60 games in the regular season.
