He wasn't considered "elite" in Ottawa or before, he only spent 3 seasons in Tampa (one of which was bad). So, 3 'decent' seasons in a career, makes a goalie "elite" now?
Ben Bishop was never elite.

fair points...
players can become elite after teams trade them however... Kipper or Dubnyk for example.
that said, we'll see how the changes in pads affects bishop in Dallas; no point in speculating, despite it being the offseason, as we'll be able to see the results next season...
it still leaves calgary in a bit of a pinch though... the obvious targets seem to be evaporating, if the MAF rumors to LV are true....
I mean would anyone really be happy re-signing Elliott, especially if we have to give up a 3rd(?) to STL as a consequence of re-signing him?
