Analysis:

The Avs' decision to cut Elliott isn't overly surprising, as the former second-round selection hadn't developed as quickly as the organization had hoped. Elliott, 23, has appeared in only one game with the Avs last season, after seeing action in 57 contests over the previous two campaigns.
