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

[itwasaforwardpass]

Waivers in meaning another team grabs him

Like I said. He's playing like garbage and he has two years at 3.3 million on his contract. No one is doing the Stars a favor for free.

I think a team would

Just out of the kindness of their heart. Some fans were saying someone would do it when Murray hit waivers. I won't say never but it would be very stupid of a team to do it when they can leverage an asset out of it instead. Khudobin isn't playing like a positive asset. The Stars need to make cap space. Cap space isn't free.

Unfortunately the only one the Oilers would want is Otter

 

[Deen]

Don't give Edmonton goalies.

Disagree. I'd be happy with Holtby. I'm also huge Holtby fan so I'm biased. But adding a Cup and Vezina winner who is playing well on a cheap contract is hardly a bad idea.

I don’t think the nTC for Dobby is a big deal. He wants to play and it ain’t happening for dallas.

I bet Dallas gets some value here. He is a bit off this year but he did backstop Dallas to a cup finals. He can be streaky. When he is on he is great.

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.

This is the exact situation he said he was hoping for . “We want otter to come in and force us to make some tough decisions” I believe is what nill said . Time to make some tough decisions Jim .

 

[BfantZ]

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

I could see khudobin doing well in Pittsburgh. Why ? I don’t know .

 

[Folignos Helmet]

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

Is Ben Bishop Greg from Succession?

 

[Miri]

The only solution to this is play 1-2-1 formation with 2 keepers in the net.

 

[ZeHockeyFan]

Edmonton should for sure be on the phone lines working a deal for Bishop. Just make sure to have insurance for him. Mike Smith could be that insurance.

This is possibly something that could convince Bishop to waive his MNTC/NMC clauses. What does Edmonton have to offer?

 

[ManofSteel55]

Don't give Edmonton goalies.

The only Dallas goalie that would help Edmonton is the one Dallas wouldn't trade. Unless Bishop had a full body repair.

For Bishop? Nothing. Cap has to even out and there isn't really any way to do that. Bishop is such a gamble.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

I’d take Holtby back in DC. Samsonov is starting to show he’s a legitimate #1 on a contender but the stakes are too high with the team playing this well to not have insurance in net.

Sure and Dallas would like McDavid. But back to reality here.

 

[Rory]

Why would Dallas take the same cap back as a cap dump for the sake of just moving bishop? I get he is a gamble but moving him for a cap dump is a bit over the top.

 

[Vitto79]

Does a team want Bishop Or Khudobin at even 50 off ?

 

[ManofSteel55]

They wouldn't. But Edmonton is maxed out, so for Edmonton to be in on Bishop, money would need to be going out. Bishop is a gamble because he is hurt all the time. Even before his most recent injury and time off. I hope he is better now, but until we know for sure, he's a few moments away from being on the shelf again. Plus we already have a goalie that is hurt alot (although Bishop's track record is significantly better). Honestly, Dallas' best option is running with Oettinger and Bishop if it doesn't put them over the cap to do it. The issues there being of course that they need to find someone to take Khudobin and Holtby. Holtby should be movable, I'm not so sure on Khudobin.

Colorado or Edmonton would be stupid not to make an offer for Holtby

Well that’s the only g that is worth more than waivers

 

[ManofSteel55]

Why? Edmonton doesn't need a backup. We need a starter.

Miko Koskinen for Bishop.

Khudobin no, Bishop...maybe? But he has a 10-team no trade and if he played his cards right and doesn't want to move, that wouldn't leave Dallas with many options.
