^This further reinforces my thoughts earlier in this thread.
Bishop is an easy choice if you can get him signed to a decent contract.
Darling would be a great gamble if you're willing to take a gamble on a backup.
Fleury would at least give you average starting goalie numbers, plus he's got a LOT of experience under his belt to support a younger team. The plus is that he's only got 2 years left on his deal, which would allow for Gillies or Parsons to take over if they're ready. The negative is that you'd have to trade for him unless the Penguins buy him out.
Schneider is really, really good and it would be perfect if we could land him, but the cost would probably be astronomical.
Elliott does have good underlying numbers, and it makes sense as to why Treliving acquired him in the first place, but he laid an egg a couple times in the playoffs and through the first couple months of the year. I agree with the fact that you can't trust him even though his numbers say he's good. Far too inconsistent to be a regular starter.
