Honestly I don't even remember the end of the regular season. He looked fine in his round robin and playoff start though after the break so you're probably onto something there.

I hate this team
Elliott will be about the 50-55th highest paid goalie entering next year.
And in 14 out of 27 games he had a .917 SV% or better...so good to great goaltending.
At 1.5 million, that's a good ROI.

Listen boyos I can't stand seeing Elliot flop around as much as the next guy but with the Flyers' inevitable cap crunch, along with the league's....I'd find it hard to justify a bidding war to the 2.5-3mil per year to pay for 20-25 games of Khudoben/Greiss etc

The numbers don't necessarily tell the whole story with him, though. He has a tendency to give up bad goals - and sometimes VERY bad goals - at bad times. I don't give a damn about this signing, but that's something to consider.

But he also doesn't get flustered when he does so, a number of games he'd give up a bad goal or two, settle down, and let the team get back into the game.
Given the Flyers will be top 5 or so in goals scored next year, top 8 this year, if you spot him against weaker teams I think he should be fine.
At worst, Lyon is probably capable of being a mediocre backup as well, he's been a solid AHL goalie who has had some fine streaks, but gets dinged a little too much.
Come the playoffs, if Hart gets injured, no conceivable backup other than one of our prospects when they're ready is going to save our bacon.

No other feasible UFA options. Elliott is content with being a backup. The better UFA goalies are going to want more money & at least close to an equal timeshare.

our coaches being shit, our general manager being a total bottom and totally shit, our CEO being the emperor of a planet of daft lizard people, Kevin Hayes, etc.

this is definitely his last year until we get another backup for a few years or have one of the young kids take the reigns. Not much cap and I don;t want to pay anyone over 2 million for an old, slightly better goalie. I am looking for hart to get to 50+ starts and have elliot be around the 30 mark. Nothing more than that please and we good

Now I wish we had managed to sign Hank for cheap just so we could have CDP with Hayes and DP with Hank.

Name a more iconic duo than the spiteful hate of C+/-DP.
King Nothing and not winning the Stanley Cup? Hank and hair gel? Hayes and not passing?

These words contradict each other.
Apologies for not using the Striiker Diictiionary.
Seriously, though, Fletcher has not generally been a trade winner so that pessimism is another matter. One can only hope! Well, we can hope that he makes it a moot point by holding onto Gostisbehere.
