Analysis:

Ellerby recorded 16 points in 41 games for AHL St. John's last season, but otherwise spent much of his time in the press box during his stint with the Jets. The 10th overall draft pick in 2007, Ellerby looks to be little more than an organizational-depth option on the blue line at this juncture.
