[Signing] Lightning extend Bishop (2 years, $4.6 million)

The 26-year-old is 10-8 with a 2.68 goals-against average and a .920 save percentage in 19 games with the Lightning and Ottawa Senators in 2012-13.

Seems like a lot of money for Bishop. Yzerman hasn't been able to find his goaltender so far either, Lindback hasn't worked out so far.

Guess after trading that much to get Bishop you have no choice but to keep him. Seems like interesting times for a GM who was so highly sought after when he was hired, many on this board wanted him in Calgary. Results so far certainly aren't overwhelming from him.

Discuss.

Sounds about right to me.

Good signing by Yzerman. I like the fact it not one of those 6-7 year deals where a team is left with a contract they can't unload if a players game goes south.

Ben Bishop is an average goalie, can't believe Flames fans wanted him.

It's a 2.3M cap hit, that's fine for him.

[Enoch Root]

Bishop has amassed 17 wins in 42 games over 4 seasons. He has done nothing to earn that contract

I don't see him doing good in Tampa at all. But good on him for cashing in.
