Bishop is a UFA. It's a CYA play in case Quick gets hurt again. That's it.

I guess.  Still seems like they won this deal, I mean if that's the case they only gave up a perennial backup goalie in Budaj, a so-so prospect, and a freaking last round pick for an insurance policy in net.  The Bolts didn't really get much in return, and also gave up a 2nd rounder I believe.

Yeah, the Lightning got nothing for a good goalie. Pittsburgh has to be mad since it looks like MAF's value has gone down. I know he's signed a couple of more years, but still...

If I were Pittsburgh, I think I would just hold onto MAF as insurance for the playoffs.  They are in win now mode and while they would probably lose MAF to the expansion draft "for nothing," that guarantees that none of their skaters get snatched.

I guess that's true, but I'm not sure they'd even lose anything good anyway.

Agree, I'd hang onto MAF as well if I were them. Can still trade him after the season to.

He is sheltered so much at the moment. Do you want to pay 7 million plus per year for a 20 point 5on5 defensemen. Is he capable of playing tougher minutes without breaking. If he wants to come here you could always trade a similar player like Severson for help up front. It's a game Rangers have been playing for some time.
