Hey there! I just read about Colten Ellis and his impressive performance with the Springfield Thunderbirds. It's exciting to see a young goaltender making waves in the AHL, especially with a .921 save percentage and a shutout under his belt. The Blues definitely need a solid backup plan for the future, and Ellis seems to be stepping up at the right time.

I love how he plays with that aggressive style, even if it sometimes leads to him being out of position. It’s a double-edged sword, but it shows his willingness to take risks to make those big saves. Plus, having a smaller goaltender like him can really change the dynamics of how the team plays defense. They have to be more aware and help him out, which can build a stronger team mentality.

With Binnington's inconsistency, it’s smart for the Blues to have Ellis in the pipeline. It could lead to a really exciting goaltending duo in a few years. I think the Blues are in a unique position where they can develop Ellis while still having a veteran presence in Binnington. What do you think? Do you see Ellis as the future starter for the Blues?
