Markstrom for sure, good chance Bishop’s injuries will begin to impact his play so that he can’t even perform to his prior level. Even if not, Markstrom the safer bet.

dallas looks to be a better team, especially defensively
siightly lower aav (~$5 million)

Markstrom has 2 years of above-average performance, but only 1 I would say is good. Bishop's track record is indeed much longer and stronger.
I do worry about how he recovers, but if you have IR spots, and have options on the wire when Bishop gets hurt, then I want Bishop.
