Rumor: Stars' Ben Bishop potentially close to return (Update: Career over)

[serp]

If he looks healthy and good this could make the Stars crease even more crowded . Already scratching a goalie in Khudobin

Honestly, the Penguins need a good-quality backup. Khudobin may be a little spendy is Bishop but if you take Casey DeSmith and send him to the AHL, it could save you buried cap space and help everyone out. Not sure what the entire deal looks like but...possible?

I think they'd prefer to take back a cheap D-man at worst. Khudobin and Sekera out, Oettinger down, replace Sekera with someone at half price.

I gotta think Buffalo is watching this situation very closely.

Except oettinger is the best goalie in the team, no reason for him to be in the AHL at this point

If Oettinger goes down winning is not a priority for this team. He is the best goalie and the future starting goalie in Dallas. That future is now. Move Bishop if he is healthy. Move khudobin as well. Sending otter down cause of cap is a mistake.

Bishop is still better than otter if he’s able to get back to where he was before he got injured . A bishop /oettenger combo would be ideal but the difference between otter and holtby in a backup position isn’t much and bishop / holtby combo is pretty good .

Stars have a four headed monster?

 

[member 334057]

Does sending Oettinger down and potentially trading Khudobin give them enough cap space to activate him if he ends up being ready or will they need to move more salary?

 

[Dr Pepper]

Jim Nill had to have seen this coming when he signed Holtby in the first place.

It'll be interesting to see how he digs his team out of this nice little hole he's created for them.

 

[serp]

Well let's see what "ready as i can be" means exactly.

4 headed monster--that is a new one

 

[archangel2]

When Bishop comes back the stars are 4 mill over the cap

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

For the sake of my fantasy, please don't send Oettinger down.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Bishop will be good for some five or so games

 

[Siludin]

The Stars have 7* players over 35 including Bishop and Khudobin - holy shit.

Maybe they can move a 2nd and Khudobin to Arizona, Oettinger goes down just cause he's waiver exempt, comes up next time bishop has problems.

I have Bish on IR and have been waiting for them to clear space, trade or send Jake down - he's been 'ready' for a few weeks now.

Jake's recent run has put a halt on everything.

 

[Elysian]

For the sake of my fantasy, please don't send Oettinger down.

For the sake of my sanity, please don't send Oetter down.

Can't send the guy at the absolute top of this chart down. Would be silly.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Yep, sending Otter down would be even more puzzling now than it was when they did it earlier this season.

He's earned his spot in the lineup, and it irks me that Dallas is ignoring that in order to use his waiver exempt status against him.

Just to clean up a logjam that they created.

Trade Khudobin, or trade Bishop.

Hell, see if you can find two teams and trade both of 'em......I don't see them trading Holtby this early on.

 

[SomeDude]

Well let's see what "ready as i can be" means exactly.

He means he just felt his groin tear walking up to the podium.

 

[thewookie1]

Trade Buffalo, Bishop and Khudobin. We are looking to set goalie starter records lol.

 

[Extra Texture]

So, Stars fans, the obvious casualty has to be Khudobin, right? Holtby playing too well, Oettinger playing too well (plus he's the future), Bishop too pricey to move.

I'm curious what the rough price would be to land both Holtby or Khudobin, from an Eastern team badly in need of some backup/platoon insurance.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

As a pens fan I hope Sleepy makes some calls. CDS as a backup ain't helping.
