Will Bishop Stay Or Go?
- Thread starter Savitar
- Start date
Because they get something in return they need right now. could be an NHL player instead of a prospect.
Sens could get a different type of prospect from LA (NHL ready almost) that we don't have a lot in ours.
LA and Sens don't have the same needs and we're not considered contenders like LA. They are the SCF champions after all. All they need is to make the playoffs.

Thanks i kept getting confused about what his status would be after he hit that games played threshold

Bishop's value is skyrocketing to the moon right now. If we trade him we might be surprised with a huge return.

Agree, but only to a point... I think goalies have a ceiling on what they can be expected to return in a trade. Goalies always seem to return less on the market than forwards or defencemen.
We won't get the equivalent value that a skater of his caliber would return in a trade, I can assure you*.

As the Ryan O'Reilly case proved, yet again, it is pointless to give a player an offer sheet, as his club will simply match to protect the asset. I think the more likely scenario with Bishop is a sign and trade, if in fact he is still with us by the draft. I am increasingly convinced, though, that he will be moved by tomorrow afternoon - Bishop is really the only affordable option out there for a goalie needy team, and I think someone will step up with a good offer just before 3 pm tomorrow.

Yeah, even if those tweet rumors are not true they could be good PR by sens front office that could spark some bidding.

An offer sheet may not be out of the question for Bishop in the summer...a team could sign him for $3m and only lose a 2nd. Ottawa would be in a position where they'd have to overpay a goalie that they don't need and because his salary is higher than it should be, his trade value would diminish. Maybe a guy like Holmgren pounces on that?
If you're assuming the Flyers are buying out Bryz, I guess. Otherwise, 3m is way too much for your backup. Either way, would you go into a season with Bishop as your definitive #1?
I wouldn't. (Unless I'm Phoenix)

The problem is that if they offer him a 1 year and we sign it we can't trade him at the deadline and he becomes a UFA the following summer. It's not the same situation as ROR at all.*
This effectively kills almost all of his value. We are never going to get more for Bishop than we would right now IMO, maybe at the draft...but if other teams are thinking in a shrewd manner they can just wait it out and get his services without giving up assets, or let some other team give up assets for him.

I personally think that Bishop will either go to Calgary, Buffalo or Edmonton.
Calgary, well they need a new goalie since the writing on the wall is there for Kipper and from what I've read they don't have a goalie prospect expected to be an NHL starter. I would be happy with Curtis Glencross back.
Edmonton, they also need someone to be their future in net. However, I think that the likely return that Murray would seek would be Ales Hemsky and a mid-rounds pick, but Edmonton won't be willing to give that up, the pick that is.
Buffalo, Bishop could be either someone to challenge Miller in net or someone to split the starting role with Enroth. I'd see Pominville as the likely return here, but we may have to add a pick...I guess I wouldn't be upset if we added a 3rd round pick to it.
Anyways, that's my slightly foundation-less opinion on Bishop's possible trade destinations. Take it as you may.

I think Pomminville would be a great fit for the Sens, so would Glenncross for that matter. I do those deals in a second.
I don't think the Flyers are a realistic option until the summer and we find out if Bryz gets bought out or not. The Oilers make a lot of sense as a 1A / 1B situation there, but they wouldn't move a pick most likely since they still aren't that good.
Anyways, nothing is going to happen until tomorrow. We would've had to call up a tender by now or activate Andy if he were to be dealt today, which hasn't happened.

My guess is the Canes. Both Ward and Elllis are hurt and they could really use some help there. If teh Canes can just make it to the dance Ward I think will be back in time for the playoffs.
Just a hunch though.

Im conflicted.. part of me says definitely seeing all the interest... but the other side of me says no dice till the off-season.. there's no guarantee as to when Anderson will be back and if we deal Bishop by tomorrow who's gonna back up Lehner if Anderson can't go?
