FILE - In this April 19, 2017, file photo, Calgary Flames goalie Brian Elliott swats away the puck during the first period against the Anaheim Ducks in Game 4 in a first-round NHL hockey Stanley Cup playoff series in Calgary, Alberta. “With the spots open to play a majority of the games and be a major contributor and not a backup, there weren’t that many spots,” Elliott said after signing a $5.5 million deal worth $2.75 million each season with the Philadephia Flyers. “You kind of knew what was out there and knew what everybody was thinking, so you just make your decision from there.” (Jeff McIntosh/The Canadian Press via AP, File)
