Elite goalies are rare commodity as you suggest. Even rarer are players that play on Cup contenders in Tampa willing to waive their NMC to play in Winnipeg in their last year of the contract.
Stella wrote it once, I'll just do it once. "No way the Jets would give up that much for Bishop."[/quote


Good point. However, your missing one key detail--the Cap &amp; Expansion. TB has Johnson, Palat, Boyle, Drouin, Sustr, Nesterov all having their salaries ending this year. Thus becoming RFA or UFA's. With Vasilevskiy (there other goalie and proven capable starter) signed long term and with 1-3 in cap space, plus raises in Johnson, Drouin, &amp; Palat it is a forgone conclusion in the hockey world that Bishop has to go.
Therefore, Yzerman will most def find a way to deal Bishop before he losses him for nothing in free agency or expansion. You can expect 1st rounds to be the minimum bargaining price, &amp; GM's are good at convincing players to drop NMC...</i></div></div>

McDavidsEgo: Gee, you have only had the pleasure of Phanuef for 3 months.....wait till for next 4 years, 5 months.. IMO you analyzed correctly most of his play in Toronto. Not that I hate Dion as a person but only three people thought he was a good NHL Dman.....Burke, Nonis and Murray.</i></div></div>

Oh yeah palhal, last 4 years have been rough for Leaf fans during the Phagoof Burke, Nonis and Murray (et al) era. My whole fam are Leaf fans, so they suffer with ya. I got out while i still could haha.
Future looks bright though, leafs have a good skilled squad coming up with Marner, Matthews, Hyman, etc.
