Imo, we got the best deal imaginable:

-Has clearly taken the step up to strong NHL starter
-Showed glimpses of being a top end NHL goalie, coming off a strong playoffs
-Politely stated he feels he's a starter and doesn't want to be a tandem
-Blues see this as a chance to get something for him and avoid a goalie issue going forward

No surprise Elliott reportedly in extension talks already. Body of work is there, .925 SV% since 2011-12 is second to Cory Schneider (.926).

Top 5 in SV% since start of 2011-12 season (min 50 gm):
1. Schneider, .926
2. Elliott, .925
3. Talbot, .924
4. Rask, .924
5. Lundqvist, .923

This stat always comforts me. I think we have a beauty in Elliott.

We got a very good goalie for very little - it would save money to extend him now, but I don't see him getting more than 3/$18 if he really has a great year.

3/$15 - make it happen, Brad.
