Ben Bishop Traded to Ottawa

[Mike]

For a draft pick.

He has to play a certain number of games or he can walk and sign anywhere after the year is up. St Louis had no choice but to move him I guess.

I believe STL extended him one year prior to the trade.

This would of course nullify that 17 game requirement.

In that case I would think Auld will be elsewhere next year and Bishop will get his shot. Good trade for Ottawa.

[Mike]

Hmmm, hang tight here as word is coming out that Bishop did not sign the one-year deal.

New plan is for Bishop to deal directly with Ottawa. A signing is expected this afternoon.

He signed a one year deal as part of the deal .

I thought Robin Lehner was their up and coming. Bishop is a humogously big goalie.

[Mike]

Ottawa has now come to terms with Bishop on a one-year contract.
