Elliotts problem is that literally every single time he's been a playoff starter he has had a meltdown in the end. Yes, that happened last year too.
5 times out of 5. Every single time. There is no reason to think this is going to change.
Even if Elliott was the best regular season goalie in the world he's essentially worthless as anything other than the backup, and even the he'd be a risky pick because backups sometimes have to carry the load in the playoffs.
The success or failure of this team is measured by playoff success. Why on earth should we think that somehow Elliott would suddenly keep it together next season, when he has never been able to do it before?
There's a reason why all his teams get rid of him.

Am I missing something? When did Elliot have a playoff meltdown in 2016? He played 18 games and had a 921 save percentage.
I'm not exactly advocating for Elliott but if you consider that a meltdown just because his team lost to the Sharks then I don't know
