News Update

Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC
If Elliott re-signs in CAL, STL adds a 3rd in 2018. So it's one pick for sure, with the possibility of two

I can agree with your post, but the prices for those guys seemed to be through the roof. All the talk about expansion draft making some good goalies going for cheap was not to be. Gm's stood their ground. Elliots salary for next year is incredible.

Of course he's not. That's why he was traded for a second rounder...

Flames were able to afford the price for Elliott since they have multiple seconds due to the Hudler and Russell deals. Well done, Treliving. Also, thanks for getting business done about an hour into the draft so I don't have to watch the rest of the first round broadcast.

Very happy with Elliott, thought he was great this past playoffs. 35th is reasonable as well. Nice draft Flames.

Only one year left on his contract @2.5. Do i have that right? Money saved big free agent on their way to Calgary now?

Will be interesting to see whether he gets a 50+ game workload or not.

...and a conditional 2018 3rd round if resigned. Still a good deal.

A third I'm guessing if he signs. Sounds like a great deal either way. Welcome on board Elliott

Be glad we didn't give Rutherford our 6th pick.

What's not to like? Low cost to acquire and his salary fits well within our Cap. Overall BT did a great job getting Elliot.

Love it. When I first heard Elliott as an option he immediately became my first choice. Veteran guy, part of some solid teams, 1 year for cheap, extension probably wouldn't kill your cap if you wanted it, low aquisition cost. Checks a whole bunch of boxes. I am excite!
