Nucks for the Cup

Alright so Khudobin has been playing lights out this playoffs and Dallas apparently wants to resign him and move Bishop if possible. I don't think they could sign Khudobin to the contract that he would want after these playoffs and be able to sign Faska, Hintz and Gurionov and keep Bishop. Now from the Vancouver side I think Markstrom has priced himself out of what Vancouver can afford to pay him and what he deserves. Demo obviously played amazing in those 3 games but its just 3 games and during the year was average with the odd great game and right now is better suited for a 1A/1B situation so heres what I propose
Vancouver:
Loui Eriksson-1 million retained
2nd rounder 2021
Dallas:
Ben Bishop
Salaries basically cancel out with the retention, Loui gets to finish his career back with the Stars and they don't need to burn an asset to get rid of Bishop and his three years and they can turn around and use the 2nd to get rid of Comeau/Cogliano/Johns to help them with the cap next year. Canucks get a guy who had a down year and has become an injury concern but hopefully is able to turn it around for the year. If Demko plays well and looks like he could possibly handle the full workload next year and Bishop also plays good then hopefully Seattle takes Bishop to be their #1 and Canucks have ample cap room to sign both Hughes and Pettersson to their massive extensions
