in all seriousness - Bishop was sensational last season. Easily Tampa's MVP ... they really missed him in the playoffs. Interesting to see a 2-year-deal, I expected a longer term. AAV is fine for what he brings to the team. Deal starts in 2015 by the way, as he has one year on his current 2.3m AAV deal left.
There's been enough one-off great season goalies that a 2 year deal makes sense. If he's just as good for these next two years then you dole out the longer term.
