So when it comes to re-signing Bishop before the expansion draft, his camp will have all the leverage.
Literally the stupidest rule ever.
But, somehow, I imagine the only team that will end up getting screwed is the Flames.

If this is indeed the case then it should mean it would be much easier to trade for bishop or MAF because tampa and pitts need to get rid of them in order to not risk losing their young studs. I don't get how this is all bad. Cant we just buyout wideman and then trade for one of these goalies when the cost to acquire will be much less than before?
