You're far more like to be able to land a 60 point guy to play up front.

You do realize that Brian Elliott has cost us 2 games of this series single-handedly right? This team is winning this series 2-1 if Elliott can go a single game without letting in some soft piece of #### goal. A piece of plywood would have more of an impact on the 2017 playoffs than Elliott has. If the Flames received any sort of average goaltending at all, we'd all be at the dome right now partying at the tail gate instead of looking into next year.
That's without consideration that he also likely cost us 10 games the first two months of the season which would have avoided us having to play Anaheim in the first place.
