By the time the Devils acquired Ellett, his game had developed to where he was a reliable two-way defenseman. History proved
that he was just a rental, but he was a decent rental.
Yes, even if the points weren't there. By this point in time, he was consistently a 20-point scorer. As a Jet and Maple Leaf, he
was consistently in the 40s. Not sure if that was because his accountability as an offensive player wasn't called to task as often
or if his skills had went south.
His first season with the Bruins was on par with his recent output, but his second one was injury-ridden, or at least enough so
that his output was effected.
As was his final season in the League, with the St. Louis Blues. He missed time late in the season with a groin injury and finished
with 10 points that year.
Currently, he is the owner of the New Mexico Scorpions of the CHL.
