We're probably looking at the same amount for Bernier next season.

I'd be pretty darn happy with a deal like that. I always figured Bernier was going to get more like $4-5mil.

Bishop's is 5.95 AAV, 11.9 total.

5.95 is quite a bit of money for a goalie with one season as a starter and '0' playoff experience.

Yup, read that wrong.

Bishop was excellent for them last season and could very easily be worth that contract, but, that's a big chunk of change for a 27 year old goalie with one season as a starter under his belt.

But the risk isn't that high with a 2-year deal
