Hopefully to tell them it's a no go on Bishop. Treviling is going for #3 instead.

I would be very hesitant to pay 10% of our cap on Bishop. Good as he may be, that price will cost us the ability to keep other players. If we can get someone 80% as good for 60% of the cost, we need to do that.

Bishop opens up about how close he was to being traded to Calgary:
http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/lightn...-close/2292084
Quote:
Bishop said his camp was "in the process" of working out a potential contract with Calgary, but the Flames instead acquired Bishop's former Blues teammate, Brian Elliott, from St. Louis on June 24 for a second round pick and conditional third round pick in 2018.
"It looked like for a little bit it was going to happen," Bishop told the Tampa Bay Times by phone Friday. "At kind of the last minute (the Flames) went out and got Elliott. It was close, but there was never... It wasn't that close, obviously."
Close could be a matter of perspective. Lightning GM Steve Yzerman said after the draft he wasn't close to making a deal. Flames GM Brad Treliving declined to comment on Bishop. But the fact it got to the point where Bishop, who has a partial no-move clause, was talking contract with Flames, and was considering it, means things were at least advanced. And it makes one wonder if Bishop might already be in Calgary if negotiations had gone better.
Elliott, though less heralded than Bishop, is cheaper, in the last year of a $2.5 million deal. Bishop, however, called reports at the draft that he was seeking a seven-year deal worth $70 million "not even close" and "completely false."

Obviously 'close' can mean different things, depending on perspective.
But if the Flames and Bishop were actually discussing contracts (and he has a partial NMC) then that certainly qualifies as close in my books.
Depends what the dollars were going forward of course, but I am much happier that we have Elliot (who seems extremely excited to be here) at $2.5M than Bishop at $7M
