Yes. But only because people like to believe in miracles of having something for nothing. Magic finds (i.e. acquiring Kiprusoff from San Jose) are flukes. We will have to pay market value to get either Bishop or MAF. I'd prefer Bishop, because he's a proven better playoff goalie. And pay the price which is going to be high.

I understand the logic, but why stop there? Reimer is not that much of an improvement from our current situation. Why bother signing him at all? Get Ramo/Ortio tandem and suffer through the season knowing full well that they are only a temporary bridge solution until a bona fide #1 goalie emerges from somewhere.
