Bishop is the better goalie, but is UFA after the upcoming season. This makes him a potential flight risk and potentially very expensive from a cap perspective. Fleury is under contract on a reasonable deal for three more seasons.
That said, I'd rather have Bishop because he's a proven playoff performer and Fleury's playoff performances in recent years have been spotty, at best.
Either of them would be a major improvement in goal for Calgary, though.
