DAL: Bishop, Garrison
TB: Niemi and prospect

I've talked to a source about this idk which prospect it is and also Eakin may be involved aswell. comment how you think the trade could go down.

That is terrible for the Lightning. And what source? Lmao. For that package, try adding Honka as the prospect and a 2017 1st at minimum.

I'm starting to feel if Tampa gets a cheap NHL ready D-man and possibly add Fil it could happen. They would save a ton of cap space and really help em out. I just don't like the idea of moving Garrison right now and I think he has at least a modified NTC.

Maybe that goes threw if you consider Benn a prospect.

Idk what your source is but this is not very good for Tampa.

Honka/ Nichushking or maybe even both. As jbs pointed out several times, taking Niemi back is a favour from TB, not a need.

@Drais and @Jbs
Say Bishop is traded to Stars for a package deal. Who backs up Vasy? He's still very young for a goalie and if you can get Stars to retain on Nemo let's say he's a good backup for only 2mil or whatever he'd be making. I know Gudelveski or whatever his names in the system but is he really that far along in his development he's ready for a back up time.

BJ96 Gudlevskis is at the point where if he isn't backing up in the NHL soon he's likely leaving for Europe. I know he hasn't played a lot of NHL games but he's been solid when he has. I personally think he's ready and if he isn't Enroth is still on the market and looking like he'd likely be cheaper than 2 mill.

Regardless Niemi isn't a necessity. Veteran backups are nice but not having him come back wouldn't be a deal breaker. Main reason to move Bishop would be for cap space so if you aren't getting significant cap space no point in trading him. Would rather have Bishop-Vasi than Vasi-Niemi and a mid pick/ prospect.
