I voted Bishop, but I agree term is the big concern.

Is paying him a higher AAV for a shorter term palatable? Say $7.5M for 4 years, versus $6M for 6?

I think the true options are Bishop as a FA or trading for Fleury. Really don't see the Flames going with another hopeful #1 goalie that doesn't have a history of playing 60+ games.

That being said, if the Flames get desperate and have to try and find a goalie that is about to enter #1 status, Korpisalo, Raanta, or Mrazek would be my choices.
