I think it's ok. He'll only get 15-20 Starts. He can't be worse than McE and the price is right. Worse case we bring up Hugo when the backup needs to start and send him back down after.
I guarantee his numbers will improve substantially next season. He spent the last season behind a bottom 3 Defense in the NHL. Eliot will produce at least a .910 save % next season with the Bolts. A+ signing.

I think we need him to play a bit more honestly. Maybe not banged up (Vasy), but the human body needs rest. Vasy has played a lot the past year. Elliott probably sees 20-30.
