As far as Bishop goes, he had about the same save% as the Smith with the Flames last year and with AZ the year before. He is off to a good start this year though.

Overall, it's pretty rare and difficult to trade for or sign a starting goalie. Look at Philly and Bryz, look at Vancouver/St. Louis and Miller, Calgary and Elliott. I think Fleury was the best chance but I wasn't even sold on him.

And trading for good looking backups is risky too. A bunch of backup and prospect goalies that posters here drooled over have not panned out. Enroth, Pickard, Brossoit, etc.
