If you are into advance stats Hamilton has much better ones.

Last 5 years:
Elliott- 192 games: .922sv% 2.09 GAA
Fleury- 297 games: .917sv% 2.36 GAA

Why would the flames do this? Are people that caught up in Elliott's bad start?

Also Calgary would be adding 41.73 mil total to they pay roll over these contracts while pens only add 31.25 mil. this is a god awful deal for the flames and a steal for the pens.</i></div></div>

That's all situations. Even strength it's .929 for Elliott and .926 for Fleury (2012/13 through 2015/16 so I'm not even including Elliott's poor start this year). On the PK they're still similar with Fleury at .900 sv% to Elliot's .895. Fleury has almost 60% more 4v5 TOI than Elliott to boot.

They are not drastically different from each other in terms of performance. But Fleury has established that he can be a team's #1 goalie and sustain those numbers. This is Elliott's chance to do so and he hasn't capitalized on it yet.

That total payroll figure doesn't account for the difference in term. And cost certainty has its own appeal to certain teams. Not saying the Flames are one; just that this isn't a complete negative the way you're portraying it. Also, does anyone actually think about contracts in those terms? Teams will be paying that money to somebody. Better question is does their performance merit being paid that amount.
