Brian Elliott Blurb

Hockey's Future has a new article out on the Ottawa Senators Top 20 Prospects. UW goaltender Brian Elliott is listed as prospect #11, and Hockey's Future has this to say about him:

11. (10) Brian Elliott, G, 6.5C Acquired: 9th round, 291st overall, 2003

The 2005-06 season was a pretty special year for Brian Elliott. A ninth round pick in 2003, when the NHL still had a ninth round in the draft, the Newmarket Ontario native was a finalist for the Hobey Baker after a sensational junior season at the University of Wisconsin. If not for a month-long absence due to injury, he might have won the award.
Elliott decided to play out his senior season as opposed to signing a contract this summer, and with a repeat performance, could push Glass for top goaltending prospect honors. Elliott can attribute his success to a tremendous head for the game, reading and reacting to the play very well and knowing how to play his angles. He is also committed to self-improvement, which is always a good sign in a goaltending prospect.

Why Could Be Higher: Barring injury, could have become first goalie since Ryan Miller, and third ever, to win Hobey Baker.
Why Could Be Lower: Has a lot to prove; only played 17 games his first two years of college. NHL Projection: Very good back-up or 1B goalie.
