Saad Yousuf of The Athletic: Dallas views Ben Bishop and Tyler Seguin as trade deadline acquisitions. This is because both are expected to return soon. Barring a collapse, Dallas should still be near the playoff bubble. After that, questions turn to Anton Khudobin. Khudobin presented a bridge between Bishop and Jake Oettinger. However, things have gone far from smoothly. Khudobin has been more inconsistent than anyone could have imagined. Oettinger overperformed so far this season. So, now what?
Jim Nill never thought all this could happen especially after the 2020 playoff run.
