He and Elliott are about the same goalies. Allen played well enough in the playoffs to show he can carry the load about the same as Elliott. Had they traded away the next Patrick Roy, you got a beef. Keep in mind, the Blues also have some insights we don't. And if Elliott were the next Roy, we would know it by now...

Not saying there is an issue but they may feel Elliott's age and injuries are more of a concern. They may feel Allen has a higher upside, if given the #1 role, outright. Lot's at play here and Armstrong seems to have a good handle on what it takes to build a championship team.

No need to panic... It is a shame that griffin will have to mothball his Elliott sweater and peel the Fathead off his bedroom wall...
