He had a great run late to get his overall numbers back to respectability but I am so done with him as our goalie. I wasn't stoked when we got him (loved the price so I came around to the deal quickly) but for a large part of the season I wanted him gone. I also advocated trading for Bishop at the deadline so never have and likely never will believe in Elliott
so he's started more games in his career. He's also had more concussions, makes more, will cost more to acquire and will fold like a cheap tent under the media scrutiny. Paying close to double for someone that isn6an upgrade is simply moronic
