As long as he is third-stringer it is fine. People getting upset at this are weird. Goalie’s good enough to be a starter or backup aren’t gonna sign up to be a #3. So you get the best of the worst you can for your #3
He’s awful
Meh another GTA guy that will threaten to retire if claimed on waivers, probably will fill the simmer role of staying with the team when paper transferred down to the AHL
Damn, that’s a grim thought.
We’ve got Samsonov, Murray, and Woll. I’m happy to hear we’re looking at Elliot, because it means there’s headway on Murray leaving.
Getting that late 90s/early 2000s feel where you wished we had a time machine for all of our 5 years too late signings…
Eric Kallgren replacement signing, wouldn’t mind it. He was serviceable in Tampa, and would probably only play a dozen games as injury insurance if needed. I’d do 1×1 year for him, veteran to mentor our two young goalies as well.
Who is Larry Brooks from NY Post and how does he know this before Friege and CJ?
I honestly thought he retired years ago
A Hometown guy, my hometown. He’s good 3rd or back up on some nights. I have no issues with it.
The only reason to sign him is for him to play at least 10 games, maybe 15 games. That’s 10-15 less game that Woll or Sammy would need to play and be even more ready for the playoffs. I like that idea.
Elliott is a solid person from my understanding. He can help the young kids in so many ways. He’d be like a coach that can still play.

We can probably do better for a 3rd goalie.
Yuck
