It's nice that Fleury had a good round 1. He's no more a legit #1 than Elliott, and he's more often than not terrible in the playoffs.
If we're going to get another headcase goalie, why not get the statistically better one in Elliott? He'll be cheaper (in both asset cost and contract).

Yeah but if you look at his recent body of work, he's been at .915 or better in 3 of the past 4 years and his only bad year was an extremely small sample size of 2 games before Murray took over.
I don't think what Fluery did in the playoffs 5+ years ago has any bearing on his game today. He's won 2 cups already and is a proven starter in the league that could bring stability to our net. All the top goalies in the league...Price, Dubnyk and Bobrovsky...had shaky stats over their first few years in the playoffs.
