That's what teams do when you have a truly elite goaltender, you keep them. Plenty of other guys on that roster could've moved if Bishop was good enough to keep. Fact is, his salary greatly outweighed his talent.

They moved Bishop because Vasilevsky is also a very good goalie and 22 years old while Bishop is 30. It has nothing to do with Bishop not being good enough.
We don't have a Vasilevsky so we could use Bishop despite his being 30.
