    Sabres' Ben Bishop: Dealt to Sabres

    Dallas traded Ben Bishop (knee) and a seventh-round pick to Buffalo on Friday for future considerations.Bishop's knee injury is expected to prevent the 35-year-old from returning to the NHL, so the Buffalo Sabres will take on the final year of his contract while picking up a late draft pick. The team could stash him on long-term injured reserve once the 2022-23 campaign begins, but Buffalo may not need to worry about that with over $35 million in cap space currently.

    Stars' Ben Bishop: Knee issue considered career-ending

    Dallas Stars general manager Jim Nill said Saturday that Ben Bishop will remain on long-term injured reserve with a degenerative knee injury that will spell the end of the goaltender's career, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.The news comes as a major shock, as Bishop just completed his first conditioning game with AHL Texas and was expected to start again for the affiliate Saturday. He allowed eight goals on 34 shots and mentioned after the game that his knee felt fine for the first two periods but was a little sore in the third. The 35-year-old last played an NHL game in 2020 and spent over a year trying to return from surgery, but his degenerative knee condition ultimately was too much to overcome. Bishop finishes his career having posted fantastic numbers (222-128-36, .921 save percentage, 2.32 GAA) with St. Louis, Ottawa, Tampa Bay, Los Angeles and Dallas. He'll remain on the Stars' books through the 2022-23 season while the team waits for his six-year, $29.5 million contract extension he signed in May 2017 to expire.

    Stars' Ben Bishop: Won't play during preseason

    Ben Bishop (knee), as expected, will not take the ice in any of the Stars' three remaining preseason contests, Bruce LeVine of Dallas Stars Radio reports.Considering Bishop was originally slated to start the year on long-term injured reserve, the fact that he isn't going to play in any exhibition contests shouldn't come as a surprise. Dallas already has a logjam of netminders to sort out with Jake Oettinger, Anton Khudobin and Braden Holtby all seeing action during the preseason. Still, once cleared to play, the 34-year-old Bishop should be given every opportunity to reclaim the starting job despite missing the entire 2020-21 season.

More information on Bishop should be available when the Stars open training camp in September.
