Elliott may have stunk things up against the Ducks but he's much better than he's getting credit for in this forum.

Elliotts contract history:
2009-11: 850k
2011-12: 600k
2012-13: 1.8M
2014-16: 2.5M
Hiller:
2008-2009: 1.3M
2010-2014: 4.5M
2015-2015: 4.5M
(Hiller also had a much better ELC.)
Hiller was a starter his whole career and got paid accordingly. (He still didn't get a raise when he signed with the Flames.)
Elliott has always struggled to hold the starters position, and almost lost it again this season.
That's why Hiller got paid more than Elliott. If the Flames give him a major rais and start paying him like a starter, after a season that only adds more question marks to his ability to be a starter, I'll be very disappointed.
