Proposal: Rinne for bishop

[maplepred]

First Poile trades Jones for ryjo which I was stoked about.
Then Weber for pk.

If we can manage to trade rinne for a younger start goalie kinda like the Weber/Subban deal today, I would be very happy.

Wonder if Tampa wOuld do Pekka for bishop straight up?? As preds fan I would even add a pick or prospect

With the Stamkos signing, Tampa will have some cap casualties and I am guessing Bishop or any 7M dollar goalie will not be on that roster in 2017/18

I see no reason, if Tampa trades bishop it is to upgrade elsewhere not change up their goalie.

But they don't need Rinne nearly as much as the cap space to invest in their team's depth to contend. If they want to go all in on an expensive but very talented goalie they're already better off with Bishop.

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

They already have Vasilevskiy as a Bishop replacement and part of the reason Tampa is going to trade Bishop is to clear space to sign guys like Drouin, Johnson, Hedman etc.

They laugh us off the phone here.

How does this make sense, in any way, for Tampa?

It doesn't.

If they wanted to pay a goalie 7m thy would just resign bishop, not get another goalie/older one on top of it

This is the answer. The Lightning are going to move Bishop due to a lack of cap space and Rinne doesn't address any of that.

This. We need to shed salary, not find creative new ways to add it.

Shea Weber for subban happened. This trade is more likely imo.

The two are completely unrelated.

Gretzky for pieces happened after Gretzky won a Cup. Does that mean Crosby is going to get traded for pieces, since he just won a Cup?

Nothing is impossible.

Nothing is impossible.

Are you considering Tampa's needs for even a second, though?

And by your logic, Dallas could acquire Subban for a 5th round pick in the next half hour.

Sure, "nothing is impossible", but if it doesn't make sense to make a deal, why make it? This deal doesn't make sense for Tampa - they won't do it.

You're avoiding my question about what it does for Tampa and how they'd benefit from it.

Yzerman isn't Bergevin.

Okay, why? This would be actively counterproductive decision-making by the Lightning.

What makes you think Tampa wants anything to do with Rinne in the first place? Go ahead, write a complete sentence this time. An actual thought about the reason it would happen. Some actual insight as to what makes the probability greater than the 1% you're ready to cash in on.

Come on. Not only are you dealing with completely different people, there are also other factors involved here. Habs management seemingly not wanting Subban anymore. Compared to this, Tampa having a really good, cheaper replacement, needing to clear cap space, this adding cap space for them.

Just don't do this well we just won one trade, let's propose this one because another trade just happened that had nothing to do with this.
