This makes too much sense if he'll sign there. Very underrated stats here in Philly.

Sparks is the reason they are starting on the roadthis playoffs he cost them AT LEAST 10 points.

Brian Elliott would be a HUGE upgrade

Yup, but I can't imagine him signing much less than 2 mil.. can the leafs squeeze that in?

 

[serp]

Oilers could be an option to compete with Koskinen or if he is willing to go for cheap the Leafs could use a better backup.

I think the lack of an adequate defence contributed to that.

Sure but thats not getting any better with how their salary structure looks in the forseeable future. If the backup goalie can be improved you do it. Of course Elliott can't make much more than Sparks or Hutchinson right now to fit.

 

[YP44]

Could see him in Chicago as Crawford insurance. Is an improvement over Ward

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

Elliott is crap

His only good years were in St louis sheltered by notoriously goalie friend Hitchcock defensive systems

He's pretty much proved it in his stats in STL vs everywhere else combined

At best a timeshare goalie

 

[Flukeshot]

His injuries are too much to overcome in my opinion.

Love me some good uneducated opinions.

IMO, Elliott is a tryout candidate. Doubt he gets signed in the summer months.

You expected Sparks to go AT LEAST 13-4-1?

So Dubas is the reason the Leafs suck. Guy makes poor decisions and can't negotiate contracts.

Where did i say that ? The Leafs will be in a capcrunch next year once Marner signs a new contract thats guaranteed with Marleau still on the roster. There's no way the team can afford a premium backup at a normal rate. Those cost 2+ Million a season.

People just need to be realistic about players.

Elliott had a .907 SV% this year. Not great on paper.
That was 35th in SV% for goalies playing at least 25 games.
He was the 33rd highest paid goalie

Last year:
Elliott had a .909 SV%.
That was 33rd in SV% for goalies playing 25 games
He was the 33rd highest paid goalie

Looking at what he was paid vs where he ranked, the Flyers got what they paid for. Paid him high backup money, got those results.

 

[logik47]

I'd be surprised if MTL doesn't show interest in him..

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

A KHL team. He's not very good.

 

[Philadelphia Ducks]

solid vet backup, wouldn't mind him as backup in Philly to Hart, but instead we'll go for a worse goalie in Talbot.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Oilers

Might not be a terrible cheapish 1B option honestly.

with what cap space?

Unless he's signing for 1.2 million or less.

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

Love me some good uneducated opinions.

Please post his career numbers away from St Louis.

That should end this nonsense rather quickly
