Elliott had a worse save percentage playing for the Flames last season than Smith did playing for the Yotes (not a defensive team just a bad team) who were trying their best to tank the season as an organization.
I am pretty confident its an upgrade, how much of an upgrade remains to be seen. Calgary needs to be more consistent overall and it starts in goal. Ten game win streak is nice but if you HAVE to do that to make the playoffs it takes too much out of a team.
