My son (also a goalie) made a nice point last night. He thinks Leclaire will push Elliott to be a better goalie.

There are a lot of things he does out there that make me believe this and the kid is only 22. He may be a 2nd line center a lot quicker then people think he will be. Aside from Karlsson I dont think we have a better prospect than that kid.

I 100% agree. I feel that the 2 of these guys together will be a great tandem - with a not too much older Leclaire helping Elliott a lot.

OH, it could be great things await this team and it's ever-hungry fan-base!!

your son has a real good point, if Elliott wants playing time, he is going to have to play up to Leclaire's level, am hoping that level is tremendously high and injury free.
