I think going in "cheap" on Elliott was a smart move. Now the goalie situation is a clean slate with the expansion draft coming up. The goalie market will be a buyer's market. Teams have solid backups that they don't want to lose for nothing and guys like Bishop are now UFA. There's countless ways to go with this which is way more preferable than being stuck with a guy and having no room to work when you start hearing names floating around.
