Elliott’s new contract is bad news for Bishop
Blues goaltending prospect Ben Bishop had the same reaction as many fans did Wednesday when the club signed Brian Elliott to a two-year, $3.6 million contract extension.
Bishop, who is in his fourth full season in the American Hockey League and NHL-ready according to many league observers, might be in his final days with his hometown organization. The Blues now have Elliott and Jaroslav Halak locked up for the next two seasons.
