Insurance?
Bishop would have been the backup for the future. Dubnyk would have started 55-60 games and Bishop the rest. Khabibulin is a UFA and is already 40+ years old. Khabibulin has good numbers in his starts this year and has stole a few games but can probably only play 15-20 games in a season. He gets injured constantly after a few starts because of his back. Wouldn't be surprised if he retires this offseason. Bishop would have been the backup for the future in a 55-27 games played type scenario like I said.
