Add an ingredient to the Goalie Brew in Ottawa

As I began watching tonight's game versus the Trashers on the SportSouth, I was taken by surprise when I saw a painted goalie mask for the Sens' goalie in the pre-game. I was fooled into thinking that Martin Gerber finally got accustomed to his new mask by Brian Elliot.
For whatever reason, Elliot is listed as #7 on www.hockeysfuture.com website on the Sens' Top Prospects chart. After his stellar game today which included a few highlight reel saves he is sure to move up on the said chart.

He is listed as 6'3 186 lbs and plays every bit like he's 7'3 360 lbs. He takes up a lot of room in the crease and appears to be very good at finding the puck through traffic. My short impression of Elliot is that he's a veritable mix of Ottawa's two other netminders in that he's solid positionally like Gerber but displays an incredible amount of athleticism like Ray Emery. However unlike his two counterparts, he appears to have solid rebound control.
If Elliot can string together a few of these games, new GM Bryan Murray will have the luxury of shopping around two 1A goalies and a serious goaltending prospect. A luxury that few other teams in the league enjoy!
