Well, there's a reasonable chance we'd be buying low on Elliot. He has had some very good seasons in the past, but is coming off a tough one.
I would really rather not cheap out on this one. I think Elliott is more of a gamble than I would like. But truth is that any of the available options are gambles.
It wouldn't surprise me too much if we signed Elliott and waived Hutch that Hutch would go someplace else and outplay Elliott. Not predicting that of course but it wouldn't surprise.
According to the numbers supplied above by Gm0ney, (thanks BTW) Elliott was not bad 5v5. Maybe if we can just cut down on the penalties we can get decent goaltending. I think cutting down on penalties is easier to achieve than a good PK but maybe that is wishful thinking too.
I don't care how it is achieved, I just want the same kind of goaltending the other kids have. Is that too much to ask?
