Ben Bishop traded to the Kings?

[RenoChazz]

How do you Tampa Bay fan feel about this? I know there's a few of you here. Barman? Just weird for LA to have Quick and Bishop. Would have made more sense while Quick was out all season.

Gave up Boyle today too

 

[RenoChazz]

Boyle was drafted by LA. We had such high expectations, he was so big, but a big softy when he first came into the league.

At a 50 % career face off wins and 100+ playoff games under his belt. He will be a good rental for torontos 3rd or 4th line .

I agree there.

Like the Boyle pick up

Bishop is a steal if they can jump into the playoffs

Shattenkirk helps the Caps

Wild also helped themselves

Kings have 2 out of 3 team USA goalies... pretty syck when bishops your backup

 

[HacheMan]

Lightning had to get something in return for Bishop now or face losing him to nothing later.

No choice but to go with the younger guy Vasilevskiy who's only 22 with huge upside...

 

[slapshot]

let the deals continue

 

[Ricboff]

good move by stevie Y. Had to cash his chips. NO idea what the Kings are thinking

just traded King and picked up Iginla

 

[niltes]

the kings prob have doubts about quicks ability to play every
game and his ability to play them at the level he has in the past.

 

[Ricboff]

okay that would make sense. Trade for him and then get rid of him for greater value?

is that what happened?


cant pour monies into two 1st rate goalies. Pissing in the wind

then get rid of Quick. Don't pour a shit load for a 'backup'


if Quick is becoming glass, trade him to the Greater Fool

 

[slapshot]

19 games left for LA Bishop should start 9 of them only a point out of playoffs

 

[Ricboff]

that's good.

have two elite goalies, don't make a call as to whom is number 1....go with the flow..........lol. Perhaps Quick is not 100%? the revenue for a playoff round trumps anything else? fair enough.

 

[niltes]

the kings had very little faith in budaj despite his numbers.
this trade upgrades the backup for this year at an acceptable cost.

 

[RenoChazz]

Bishop will be gone at the end of the season. Quicks been injured all year and just got back, and L.A has 5 back to backs left this season. Kings pretty much got him for nothing.

 

[Ricboff]

'acceptable cost'?

okay, he's a free agent come summer, no?...better make the playoffs.... management is clearly losing faith in Quick, short term , .......team aint good enough to win it all . For me, screams of a panic move: 'let's just get in'...
