What It Means:

Elliott was traded to the Flames in June, and his current contract has him eligible to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2016-2017 season.

Elliott posted a league-high .930 save percentage with the St. Louis Blues last season, and he should provide a big boost between the pipes for the Flames, who didn't have a netminder post a save percentage above .909 on the year.
