The only reason I would be wary about Bishop is cost-to-acquire.
This is one of the top ten goaltenders in the league. Bishop is the sole reason that Tampa even has a shot at the playoffs thanks to his outstanding play while they couldn't figure out how to put it in the back of the next at the beginning of the season. He's in Vezina conversation right now, and it's not the first time, it won't be the last.
Cost wise, Reimer seems like the most proven/lowest cost option. Plays REALLY well behind a terrible team. Could prove to be incredible in combination with our defence if they put it together.
No to Howard and Ward though. Too past their prime.
Raanta/Andersen are interesting but somewhat unknown as far as what you'll get. It's worrisome.
