Why are people still clinging to Bishop? I wouldn't take him at 7x7, I wouldn't take him at 5x6, and I wouldn't take him over Elliott.

Bishop is younger than Elliot, and has been a legit starter in this league playing 60+ games 3 times and putting up elite numbers.
I think that it's possible Flames management would see if they could use a down year like this for him where he battled an injury and then was traded, to see if they can get an elite NHL starter at a bit of a bargain price as opposed to using this one down year as an excuse to completely dismiss his abilities and lose all interest.
I may be wrong, but it certainly is possible.
Also, the guys playoff numbers are ridiculous as well.
But hey, at this point I'm not going to complain if they re-sign Elliot either.
