I still think Bishop is an elite level goaltender. If we land Bishop, it's a 20 game audition for an extension and I'd be happy with that (assuming the cost isn't huge, which I don't believe it will be - I imagine a 2nd in '17 + Elliott would do it). Bishop is an elite level goalie who has been crushed by circumstance in Tampa this year - but has really fired it up lately.
He's rolling a save percentage of .946 over his last 5 starts...
...in comparison, we've been winning with Elliott while he's posted a save percentage of .890 over his last 5 games. So yeah, Elliott made some key saves in that Nashville game at the end but if we're going into the playoffs banking on a goalie that is playing at a sub-.900 level, I don't like our chances of doing anything.
