It’s easy to forget now but Bishop was the furthest thing from the problem the year before. I don’t think the Stars do the trade because Bishop gives them the best chance of winning a playoff series. Good proposal though.It's not a sure fire upgrade on Andersen (who I don't think is the problem in Toronto) because Bishop gets hurt quite often. He wasn't even the goalie that took Dallas to the final this year so how do you know he would take the Leafs to the promise land? Bishop is not reliable. I much rather re-sign Andersen if there aren't any reliable sure fire upgrades.
Why the hell would the Leafs do this?
Given Bishop's propensity to get hurt, as a Leaf fan, I wouldn't do it.
If you have a guy like Bishop, you NEED at least a 30 game starter to tandem with him. At $5m, I don't believe the leafs can afford both beyond Campbell's current deal.
That being said, if Dallas were to retain a small amount (something like $500k), I'd do it.
The Leafs have a 25-30 game guy in Campbell
What is the need for Toronto to do this?To Dallas
G. F Andersen 5.0
To Leafs
G. B Bishop 4.9
Hockey trade, Andersen 1 season left 5.0, Stars just resigned their playoff hero to a 3 season deal.
Bishop at 4.9 is almost even for cap hits. Stars save real money as Andersen is only owed 1 mil.
Tbh with that Dallas d core this could be a great move for Andersen.
Stars remove 5 mil cap space after this season.
Yay/Nay??
What is the need for Toronto to do this?
What I seedid you not read the proposal?
What I see
Anderson for an injured Bishop
Bishop playoffs 3 gp 0.844 save %
What a about a beautiful kerfoot lmao .Wouldve been more interested in this deal if yall still had Johnsson to give away
Bishop also played behind a much better defence and defensive team.Selective analysis is fun, isn't it?
Now look up their stats from the past three seasons. Let me know how that goes.
The Toronto market eats most goalies alive, whether its deserved or not. If Steve Simmons gets under your skin, I suggest you grow a pair. Keep in mind, we also prop goalies up too. Belfour and Joseph are Leafs legends. Both were good goalies, but not exactly a threat to win a Vezina. People here don't hate Andersen, we know he's a good goalie. It's more of a move to change things up.I'd probably do this as a Stars fan- Bishop is injured way too often and Freddie is off the books next summer. The Toronto market would eat Bishop alive.
Andersen has done nothing to command a contract like that.I'd probably do it on the leafs end. gives em a bit of security down the road.
Andersen is probably gonna want a Markstrom contract (6x6) in a year and thats kind of scary to think about as a dude that will be turning 32
well thought out trade idea
Bishop also played behind a much better defence and defensive team.
I hate to be selective but I have to .
And finally having a defence .i am fine with Andersen playing goal for the Leafs this year. I'd rather wait and see if the expansion draft shakes loose some young talent in net for the Leafs to grab that could be cheaper & a true long term solution.
