Don't like it one bit. I hope Bishop buys into the anti-Canada hype that the thinned skinned people on the mainboard have about it being a little bit cold up here and refuses to waive.
30 usually isn't the start of one's prime.I'm just incredibly nervous about the price tag. This isn't Fleury or Andersen, who have question marks, this is a Vezina finalist at the start of his prime.

As long as Backlund isn't in the deal I am fine with it.
“let me take you back, and i can only suspect the genesis of all of this. Last night i was doing on twitter sort of a chat about the draft, and i was asked some questions about teams and nhl moves, and things like that.
“so somebody asked me about what will calgary do now that they didn’t get freddie andersen, they were after freddie andersen from anaheim. The leafs got him and signed him. What’s their next move. And i said obviously they need a goaltender. They have talked, or they will talk, to the tampa bay lightning about ben bishop. That was it. That’s all i said. The same as they’ve talked to pittsburgh about marc-andre fleury.
“now apparently some dim bulb in tampa has started to say that ‘there’s reports out of canada that calgary has a deal in place for ben bishop,’ which, if they do, it’s news to me. I certainly didn’t say that, and i’m not aware of anybody else who did either.
“but i do believe the tampa bay lightning will listen on ben bishop, and may well be in a position at some point to trade him. Maybe not. Maybe they’ll go in a different direction. But it’s certainly one of a number of options they’d consider. Just like pittsburgh would consider a marc-andre fleury trade, and a lot of teams are going to be looking at goaltender trades, especially with an expansion draft coming up.

Deal between CGY/TBL in the limbo due to Bishop's NMC, might not wave it for the Flames.
I was wondering if this was a case of that.
This kind of phenomenon should have a name. Source one says something. Source two then says that a source said something. Source three then says that two sources have said something. From there, a few different sources have said something. It's like artificial source amplification.

Someone used that Grosso guy as a source on the trade board and the thread ended up locked. if you go back to May 26th, he made a tweet saying the Lightning traded Stamkos to Toronto.
