2017 NHL Trade Deadline: Market for Ben Bishop never materialized as expected

The Tampa Bay Lightning have officially traded away the best goaltender in Lightning history. (Ok, you could certainly make an argument for Nikolai Khabibulin, and he did win a Stanley Cup for us after all.)

Ben Bishop leaves the Lightning as the goaltender who was the career leader in regular season games played, games started, wins, OT losses, shots against, saves, save percentage, goals against average, time on ice, and shutouts. In addition, he’s tied with Khabibulin for the lead in assists and points. The story is similar for the playoffs with him leading in games played, games started, wins (tied), losses, shots against, saves, goals against, save percentage, assists, points, and is tied for shutouts.
