Per CapFriendly, the Flyers re-signed the 34 year-old Elliott to a 1 year, $2 million extension. The Canadian net-minder recorded a .907 SV% and a 2.96 GAA in a injury-plagued 26 game 2018-19 campaign. Initially, this deal seems like an overpayment, as Elliott struggled mightily following a midseason injury. Elliott’s struggle and injury concern led to the trade of prospect goalie Anthony Stolarz for ailing tendy Cam Talbot in February. Talbot, who seems set on signing with the Flames come July 1st, continued to struggle in limited time, with the Flyers.
Talbot is 1 of 3 UFA goalies on the Flyers roster, the others being veteran AHLer Mike McKenna and the oft-injured Michal Neuvirth.
