It's way easier to acquire two or three middle six forwards than a goalie who's been an automatic .910 on teams much worse than what they'll be in the next few years.
The Blues gave us Elliott for a 2nd when Jake Allen had played nearly 100 NHL games. Not 5. What good does that 2nd do Vancouver? A player that might be relevant in four or five years?
Keep your goalie.
