Speculation: Ben Bishop

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Dallas has reached the cup final, on the back of Khudobin.

If it makes me wonder if Dallas keeps Khudobin and moves on from Ben Bishop.

If they do what would they want

Bishop is still fairly hard to move with M-NTC 10 team list. I still think Bishop is the better goalie but you always run the goalie that is hot, especially in the playoffs. They could probably get a pretty solid return for Bishop but him becoming available floods the market even more.

That is the problem the market is flooded so I'm not sure they'd get a ton but if he were available and I'm a team like Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Colorado, Buffalo I'd be interested

Bishop turns 34 in November and makes nearly $5 million per season for the next three seasons with a M-NTC, NMC in place. He also has been suffering injuries. He will not be easy to move in the current market.

I feel like regardless of what happens Dallas rides a Bishop/Khudobin tandem next year and Oettenger gets another season in the minors. Worry about it next off season

If the leafs lose out on Demko and the stars are willing to retain 1 million I’d make them an offer. Would 15th overall be fair?

Oh that’s way too much for Bishop. Maybe just an Anderson for Bishop swap? (Imo that’s actually a step backwards in net for Toronto)

Leafs aren't targeting Demko

I agree that's to much not sure I agree it's a downgrade

You wouldn't get a lot but there are enough teams that could use a goalie you'd get something.

Toronto, Edmonton, Calgary, Colorado, Buffalo

I don’t think the Leafs should have any interest in Bishop.

If he isn't traded, he's set to be the first starter in Seattle Kraken history. Which I would hope for Dallas's case happens. Has a big contract, will have two years left in Seattle if taken.

Buffalo is not....

They can sign their RFA for less for the same amt of term.

I don’t touch plAyers 33+ for any 3+ term.

Dallas would be including a 1st to get him taken.

 

[oconnor9sean]

He is better and younger than Anton Khudobin. Bishop will not be moved and will be starting opening night when the 2020-21 season begins.

Ummmm no. I'm sure Seattle would pick bishop in a heart beat

Well, I think Dallas' hand was forced here with Bishop being injured. They are fortunate that Khudobin was able to step up and play well. I don't think it's enough to make him the starter though.

 

[Unspecified]

I cannot stand Bishop and think he is hugely overrated but I'm sure the Stars hold on to him.

Everyone is certain Seattle is excited to take their teams bad contracts.

Keep dreaming.....goalies can fall if a cliff at his age.

Every team will be exposing $5M+ players as well as some very good players. In a flat cap teams will be begging sesttle to take their high salary player.

When it comes to goalies, many teams will have younger ones exposedthst they would take over bishop.

I see them talking one 1 28+ goalie
1 23-25 yr old potential started
1 ending an ELC with 1 more exemption year
2 other goalies picked are for trades to other teams.

How is Bishop a bad contract?

Bishop at 4.9 mil is a bad contract?
21 wins
2.50
.920
This year and better last year....

Price and several other goalies make more with worse numbers.

So feel free to explain your point of view

Age and injury. That's why he probably isn't a team's favorite asset to trade for at the moment, but I wouldn't necessarily call him an anchor...all depends on how desperate a team is for a goalie to win right now.

Looking at you, Toronto.

Actually goalies tend to hit thier stride and later in life and continue into thier mid late thirties. Fyi by your assessment the following goalies are in your idea of falling off a cliff.

Bobrosky
Price
Bishop
Fleury
Crawford
Holtby
Lundqvuist
Quick

Khudobin is having a hell of a year but he's still almost 35. Dallas certainly needs a good back up plan even if it's not Bishop.
