What to do with Elliot ..

Here's my take on the various options - copied most of this from a post less than an hour ago. Adding abit because your categories are different.
1. The Flyers will NOT simply run with Neuvirth the second half. He has trouble staying healthy when playing too often in a row. Therefore you're looking at a decent chunk of Elliott, even if Neuvirth is getting the majority of the starts for any reason short of Elliott getting hurt. Then you'll see another goalie to give him enough rest. I think it's a timeshare.
2. I don't want Ward or Darling anywhere near a roster this season. Feel pretty much the same way about Markstrom - although he's at least more likely to get volume of starts.
2A. I am lower on Lehner than many around here. He's better than the guys in section 2 above, as is Halak.
3. Dell & Saros are elite backups. I'd value them above the guys in section 2, and possibly above Neuvirth. Depends on playing time, all are pretty talented and high end backups, generally. Jarry seems to be prettyd arn good as well.
4. Raanta is the guy I like the most, as he's starting, has a great track record in the rate stats, and has virtually no competition for the crease. There has been some talk that he might be dealt to a contender instead of staying in Arizona, but either way, I think he's the guy I want. Additionally, you have Saves as a category, which means prioritizing a starter.
