I agree with you on Lundquist, I'll have him on my team every day of the week. Not so much on Rinne, who despite playing on one of the best defensive teams for a good chunk of his career, has very inconsistent numbers, with a good year usually followed by some very average ones (0.917, 0.911,0.93,0.922,0.91, 0.902,0.923,0.908,0.918). He playing lights out at the moment but as recently as last season (15-16) he was seen as a potentially huge anchor (his 0.908 included a late season resurgence).
I have an inkling that we won't regret missing out on Bishop, though there's a chance we will. I think it's directly linked to his injuries going forward.
I'm interested to see our solution next year. It's a shame Saros is exempt.
