Although the loss is still fresh in everyone's mind would it be such a bad position to have Elliott and Gillies? Elliot fell apart in the playoffs no question there but he is a #1 caliber goalie that can be had for probably 2 yrs @ 2-2.5 million per. This gives Gillies 2 years worth of back up experience to show what we have and possibly steal the starting spot.
If Gillies were to steal the starting role a 2-2.5/yr backup isn't prohibitive. We also need to address the top 6 RW situation so perhaps bringing Elliot back is the smart choice.
This also opens a spot on Stockton for Parsons for next year since he wont be staying in the OHL. he can battle with Rittich for the starting role there.
