I think the Bishop thing needs to play out a bit more, I don't necessarily disagree with that move. I like the Stamkos deal he got considering the numbers the kid puts up and he could have been signed to an excessively bloated contract like Crosby or Malkin.
I think the other big thing here is many of the younger players nowadays would have looked up to Yzerman as a hockey hero. Would we be able to lure some good, young talent to Calgary if we have Yzerman in the GM position? Because right now, I don't really see anything making players want to come here. And Yzerman was a good captain and leader, could he start teaching some of our young guys leadership skills that appear to be lacking in the room?
