That's way, way too high?
We passed on Bishop in the sense that we didn't want to pay what it took. Which really wasn't that much.
Instead we spent the same assets or more (3rd + 3rd round prospect in Hickey) on an older, lesser goalie who just happens to be from Trelivings old team.
(Not to mention spending 1st and two 2nds on Hamonic.)

Bishop would have cost Calgary Tkachuk when the initial deal was on the table.
They tried again at the deadline but it fell through because the other trade fell through.
My fear was never acquisition cost any way, it was 7 x 7 with a brittle goaltender.
