6x$6-6.5 is way less than most of us would've predicted for Bishop last year - the prevailing thought was he was a 7x7 guy on the open market.
Getting him for one less year with a $1M smaller cap hit would've been another feather in Brad's cap.
Of course, it's moot if the price was 6th overall, but if Ben Bishop is starting for us in game 1, we for sure don't get swept and we might even be playing Edmonton right now.
