While there is no doubt that the Dallas Stars were in need of a new starting goaltender and there were few superior options to Ben Bishop, they could have had a better end result if they had waited.
Bishop Signing
A week ago the Stars signed the 30 year old to a six-year, $29.5 million contract. His deal includes a full no movement clause in the first half and a modified no trade clause in the second.
To even speak with him about possibly signing with the Stars, Dallas had to trade the Los Angeles Kings one of their fourth round picks in this year’s draft.
