They did the same thing with Kariya.

So does that mean that Halak will play well his first 30 games and then be a joke the rest of his contract?Winning Unlimited wrote:They did the same thing with Kariya.

Bishop is doing rather well in the preseason, isn't he?
honestly? I say trade Bishop now to a team with a need for a goalie for an offensive prospect. Obviously they're committed to Halak/Conklin

I don''t think he is worth much based on a couple of good preseason games, is he?

But the problem is that no one is in the market for a goalie. I could name teams that I think need one (Washington, Philli, etc.) but I have never seen a time with this many teams not in the market for goaltending. Detroit would maybe be in the running for a backup, but I doubt anyone in St. Louis wants to trade Bishop there.glen a richter wrote:Ding ding ding.ProngerBlues44 wrote:So does that mean that Halak will play well his first 30 games and then be a joke the rest of his contract?Winning Unlimited wrote:They did the same thing with Kariya.

No.
He's been a disappointed in the minors and people aren't going to start jumping on him after a couple preseason games.
What do you think it says to other teams when you traded a young offensive prospect for a goalie when you are hurting for offense yourself? How much confidence does that suggest you have in Bishop?
He has zero value right now.
If he goes to Perioa and starts 11 and 2 with a sub 2 ga and a .920 save %....then we start making calls.
