Confirmed with Link: Flyers Re-Sign Brian Elliott To One Year Deal $1.5M AAV for 20/21 season (bumped thread)

[Striiker]

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.

Great post.

Really great post.

This is a good signing ,was hoping he would be back .

Don't we need to expose a goalie in the expansion draft? So wouldn't it have made more sense to sign him for two years and then buy him out if (when) he's not taken?

Obviously we won't be exposing Hart, so who are we exposing now? Lyon's contract ends at the same time as Elliotts too.

My exact thoughts. What about one of the drafted goalies? I don't think there is a games played require like with defensemen....

As was pointed out to me, Sandstrom would be the guy exposed.

 

[Petr Svoboda Mullet]

I’m good with the signing all things considered. Hopefully this is the last we see of Moose.

lockerroom guys are more important then on ice ability..

cue Stewie steve....soon to be HC no doubt by this godam Org.

Luckily he will play less than 25 games this season.

They may well see Lyon as a viable alternative, he's been pretty consistent behind a very shaky defensive team.
In a lot of AHL games I watched, he basically kept them in games while being grossly outshot.

Elliott works well with Hart, and is a bit of a mentor, which is probably one reason behind the re-signing.
Confidence in Lyon as a passable alternative if Elliott breaks down may be the other

24 games out of a 60 game season, yeah.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

24 games out of a 60 game season, yeah.

If it does turn out to be 60 games, then I'd say only 15 or so games.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

If it does turn out to be 60 games, then I'd say only 15 or so games.

He will get more starts than usual due to the compacted schedule.

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

Kinda spot on.

Don't bump stuff like this, quite a startle.

This scared me big time. Holy moly Batman!

I just shit my pants at work. Not cool, Alexander.

I've liked Elliott way more than most during his overall time here and even I don't want him back next year, lol.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I am not looking forward to this guy getting beaten over and over on the far post because he feels the need to trap himself shortside by wrapping his leg around the net. Or just plain old overplaying angles.

Here's hoping nobody else was watching the Islanders explicitly try to exploit that and coming a hair away from goals twice.

I'm pretty done with watching the guy but the flat cap does make things Very Weird so it is what it is.

I'd like to update this to say I am now VERY done with watching the guy

 

[Remarkablr]

Another year.... Great.

 

[dragonoffrost]

Another year.... Great.

Nope we got a zombie thread due to added perspective

 

[deadhead]

Elliott was fine until Hart imploded, forcing Elliott to play too many games without enough rest.
Problem was after Hart became the #1 last year, solid backup veteran goalies didn't want to be buried on the bench (because it makes it hard for them to negotiate their last contract).

Ironically, Hart's struggles will make it easier to sign a goalie this offseason, since the goalie knows he'll be 1B and possibly get 35-40 starts.

Add me to the list of people who were scared seeing this thread.

 

[Appleyard]

Sorry guys... but did not realise people might think it was a new thread given origin date displayed! (though not sure you get that on mobile which might be the issue)

Was just the only recent Elliott thread.
