Interesting. Will wait until it's confirmed.
Don't mind this at all. A 4th is meh, and we get to figure out what Bishop is looking for. Maybe we can get a reasonable deal for him now.
Hoping for 4 years or less. Honestly don't care about the cap hit.

Bishop is still an elite Goalie enjoyed watching him during his time in Tampa.
I say 4 years $24 million, Can't see him signing for less.

Decent pull by LA for UFA rights.
If Dallas can get him signed it helps them a lot. Though I still look at their D corps and cringe a bit.

this is perfect for Dallas if they can get it done... Dallas is one of the most impressive teams in the NHL yet always suck

Flames fans do a collective throwing of chairs across rooms I'd expect?
MAF isn't a bad goalie, he's been very good these playoffs. But it's more of a matter of will this be the MAF you're buying if Bishop indeed does stick around in Dallas.
Dallas fans, expected price tag of Bishop? Does this make a Niemi/Lehtonen cap dump trade more likely?

Yes!
Really happy the Flames aren't in on him. Dallas will overpay long term and Bishop will show that this season wasn't a fluke. Never go in long term for big bucks on a goalie after a bad season. Rule Number 1.
I'm actually happier now than I will be if the Flames get another goalie.

Bishop seemed like the surest bet.
MAF kind of has the same doubts about him as Elliot did last year.

I saw MTL 4th and thought the Habs traded for him for a sec. I was really confused.
Not a bad deal given Darling's rights just got traded for a 3rd, though Bishop may be a tougher pre-July 1st sign.

I expect them to buyout Niemi and if they could move Kari without taking too big a hit, they would entertain that I expect.
Kari played pretty well down the stretch and played well a few years back with better defensive structure, so they might keep him around for the last year of his contract...see if he rebounds under Hitch.
