Bishop's next team?

[bigbadwolf]

1. Vegas
2. Dallas

[Instant Karma]

I'm going to go with Dallas as well. If this season has proven anything, it's that they cannot go into next season rolling out the Lehtonen/Niemi shlt-show, not with the expectations that this organization has.

As has been pointed out above, one or both of those two can be moved out or bought out now.

Big Ev is going to rip into me for this but I'm saying Ottawa.

Anderson is going to be on his last year, Condon is a UFA this summer, they don't really have anyone who can step up in the pipeline, they will probably free up $7+mil if Ryan is picked up by Vegas ...

Ottawa needs stability in goal and hopefully Anderson will be able to focus on hockey 100% come next year, but if there is a chance he won't be able to fully do so, the Sens need to find someone who could. Their core is hitting their prime so next year is a crucial one IMO.

Both his persona's are gone, so, unlikely. But yes, I agree with Ott is likely to be a top option

I would have bet Calgary, but that's where Carey Price is going in UFA..

I would say Dallas or Colorado because they will find a way to make his contract demands work. They just need good goaltending so badly. NYI would have been a fit but they gave too much to Greiss to tide them over to Sorokin.

Vegas will get Fleury. I don't know that there will be room for a tandem there with both, even if it would be a great fit and make them rather competitive off the hop.. VAN could use the help. Markstrom is not the answer and Demko is many years away still. I just don't know if at his age, Bishop wants to join a team at the start of a rebuild. Buffalo is actually a great guess and a great fit, but what do they do with Lehner? He is RFA, so they cut him loose?

I agree with pengwin. It's gotta be Dallas.

It's put up or shut up time for Nill. The coach is probably gone in the off season. So Nill will get one last shot to right the ship.

Well, you've demonstrated a need, but I don't see Ottawa as a franchise that is going to offer a big free-agent contract for goaltending. Even if Anderson was definitively gone I don't think they would do that, and he's not.

With Bishop's level of play this season, are we sure any team will want to give him a long fat contract? He is certainly not doing himself any favors with his play. He can't even put up decent numbers on a strong defensive team like LA.

figure he should get 4-5 yrs even with this year. Dallas is desperate.

Ontario Reign.....

What?
Price in Calgary? You meant Vancouver right? Price for Demko in 3 years, the reverse Subban-Weber trade

[JHouly]

I would say Winnipeg.

Helle is simply not a starting goalie in this league.

[butch]

I say this without examining their goalies ready in pipeline or cap space availability -but it would seem Philly makes sense .

[Dikoi]

Another vote for Dallas, it just makes too much sense IMO.
