Agreed. I don't want Bishop taking $5 million in cap space at 36. I'm already petrified of having Gio taking up $6.75 million of cap space in his late 30's. It's not ideal salary cap management to have 8% of your salary cap tied up into two 35+ year old players that are no longer starting or top pairing caliber. Flames aren't near the peak of their current core so I would rather take the pain now than later when they will be in their peak. Signing Bishop to that contract is the exact opposite in that by the time the core is at it's peak Bishop will be a weak link.
