As for our up and coming goalies - that's the hope... that's not a 100% guaranteed that any of them will turn out... I don't think its fair to say you don't think Bishop is elite anymore and simultaneously pin our goaltending future on one of three guys, who have 1 NHL game of experience between them...
its water under the bridge now, but the goaltending market that remains is even more dubious than what Bishop provides imo....

Pads are getting smaller and Bishop is getting older.
Bishop was traded At the end of 2013 for Cory Conacher.
From the 2013-14 season until the 2016-17 season he played in Tampa Bay (4 seasons).
He wasn't considered "elite" in Ottawa or before, he only spent 3 seasons in Tampa (one of which was bad). So, 3 'decent' seasons in a career, makes a goalie "elite" now?
Ben Bishop was never elite.
