(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.

I have no idea where the Flames goaltending search is going to lead them but I can guarantee if they do end up re-signing Elliott you should be prepared to be very disappointed as he's going to get a raise over his current deal.
