What would happen when Bishop returns?

Finally, I was able to trade Allen and acquired Jones. I had to package some of my assets, but now I feel pretty confident in goalie cats.
Also, I had two more deals to shift things around, and picked up Andersen. Most of GMs in my league run with only two goalies, so he was available.
Frustrated GM packaged Bishop to get my Lundy, and I acquired him, placed on IR then I picked up Vasilevski.
Maybe this was my mistake, but he packaged Byuf and couldn't resist it(my Kadri and S.Jones included).

I am pretty sure my goalies are solid, but I started wondering what would happen when Bishop comes back in Tampa.
Bishop is still #1, but I really want to know if Vas can get the job or they split the games 50/50.
If Bishop can turn things around after his return, it would be just easy to drop Vas.
But If he still sucks and they split their games, I am thinking I might grab the other guy to have three starting goalies maybe Greiss?
I am at 4th and pretty sure I will be in playoffs, so I have to be prepared to form my goalies strong to beat other GMs.

1st : Holtby, Bobrovsky, Rinne
2nd : Dubnyk, Rask
3rd : Crawford, Talbot

I think Laidlaw (?) discussed this well in the Ramblings when Bishop first went down. I think, at worst Bishop splits, but I don't think Vas has been that great since the injury and they may give Bishop an extended run when he returns and that will be his chance to wrestle the net away for the rest of the season

When Bishop comes back, I think he retains the #1 roll and will carry that right into the playoffs. I can see Vasilevskiy getting starts on the B2B's and every 3rd or so games but for the rest of this season at least, Bishop will carry the load.

As a vas owner I think bb will get the starters role- albeit maybe a solid split with vast which has already started anyways. Big buff 8s a beast and at underrated- HUGE haul with your cats..
