Great move dumping Ellis’ contract for next year and picking up an expiring contract. Gives Tampa the ability to re-assess their goal tending situation after the end of this season and either start with a clean slate, or resign their guys. In other news, Dan Ellis Tweets “Now I got State Taxes? How ever will I afford my perrier?!”

Looks like the Ellis/Smith clown car is coming to a fork in the road, single tear.
