Speculation: Dallas moves to clear cap if Bishop is healthy

[mouser]

It appears Bishop is fully practicing with the team in training camp, which would suggest he may not be heading to LTIR after all.

If he's healthy that leaves Dallas roughly $3m over the cap with a 23 player roster and assuming Holtby is buried. What moves do you think Dallas would look at if Bishop is healthy?

Waive Khudobin and hope BUF picks him up.

 

[joestevens29]

Khudobin to the Oilers?

They'd probably have to pay someone to take Koskinen off their hands then, as Dallas wouldn't want him in return as part of the deal.

Wouldnt be surprised if its actually Bishop who gets traded.

Could be sent to a team like edmonton as a low cost trade for conditional picks with potential high reward in the 2nd half of the year.

I get the sense by November Dallas will want Oettinger to be the guy, and keep Khudobin/holtby behind him.

I'm not sure about all the timing, but the latest report is we could have close to 5mil in LTIR cap relief. So we probably could just waive Koskinen

 

[Mrfenn92]

Khudobin to Ottawa for Anton Forsberg?

 

[ESH]

Why did Dallas even sign him in the first place? They don’t trust Oettinger?

 

[Pinkfloyd]

It seems like they have limited options at this stage. I suppose you could see Arizona, Buffalo, Edmonton, and Pittsburgh with the desire but Pittsburgh would need to create cap space to make that happen as would Edmonton to a lesser degree. Arizona, Buffalo, and Edmonton could all be on Bishop's no-trade list so then what? Same problem could conceivably exist if you try to move Khudobin. I can't imagine Arizona or Buffalo picking either up off waivers. They know what they're doing and they may not want to spend the money for at best a future asset down the line. Tough spot for Dallas to be in.

or Edmonton

or Edmonton

I don't think Edmonton has the cap space to claim either Khudobin or Bishop.

 

[Jacob582]

I doubt Bishop waives his NMC so he can be put on waivers.

 

[Magic Mittens]

If Bishop is healthy and can play again, theres no way Dallas moves him lol. Healthy Bishop is or at least was one of the top goalies

I think Nill would love to have this problem, but as a Stars fan i'll believe it when i see it that Bishop is healthy

I was listening to a podcast about Bishop's knee injury, and apparently he had to relearn to walk again on his right leg

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

They'd probably have to pay someone to take Koskinen off their hands then, as Dallas wouldn't want him in return as part of the deal.

I would be willing to help our old friends Jim Nill and Ken Holland, as long as some nice assets are coming Detroit's way to help their cap situations. Yzerman has plenty of space.

For the record I also don't really believe Bishop can stay healthy, though I wish him luck with it.

Bishop is done. This is just the team indulging his inability to come to terms that his time is up.

 

[innitfam]

Dallas reallllly got themselves a lot of goalies, huh?

Oettinger
Holtby
Bishop
Khudobin

All are at minimim backup level. Why did they even sign Holtby? Was Khudobin's health in doubt in the offseason? Bishop's obviously was but they would've already had Khudobin and Oettinger at that point...

They should be able to with LTIR

 

[Pinkfloyd]

They should be able to with LTIR

I don’t think they can even with that but it’s close.

Has he passed a physical?

 

[SI]

No one is taking on Bishop's contract at 4.9 and he has a NMC.

Khudobin to Buffalo is a good call - Sabres need a NHL goalie and it wouldn't cost them since Dallas is in a spot.
They would go with a 22 man even with the move.

Arizona could be another trade partner.

Edmonton could be another team, but they need Koskinen gone.

 

[Iwishihadaspacebar]

Khudobim to Edmonton for like a 3rd
Koskinen to Buffalo along with a 2nd for a signed Jack Eichel t-shirt.

 

[Hasbro]

Bishop is done.

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

I don’t think they can even with that but it’s close.

Bishop's AAV, $4.917

 

[BlueSeal]

What are the Stars needs? If they’re doing any sort of trading it should be for puzzle pieces.

 

[centipede2233]

Edmonton could really use a goalie
