Can't see it.
Bishop signed $4.9AAV when he was UFA after coming off seasons with 37, 40 and 35 wins (I believe he was partially injured in his UFA year). And that was in an environment where the cap was increasing every year. With cap uncertainty for the foreseeable future and a ton of bad contracts floating around, a GM who gives Markstrom that much must be really desperate and taking a big gamble.
