My understanding is that bishop will be ufa if the season is canceled (could be wrong on that). Given Lehner, what are the odds he resigns with us?
"Unrestricted free agency:On July 1 of a given year, the following players become unrestricted free agents, free to sign with any team without compensation to the former team.
1.Group 3 free agents: Players who have reached age 27, or have 7 accrued years of NHL experience, whose contracts have expired
2.Group 6 free agents (must be elected by the player): Players who have reached age 25, who have 3 accrued years of professional experience (that is, beyond junior or collegiate hockey), and whose contracts have expired, but have played less than:
1.80 NHL games played for forwards and defensemen.
2.28 NHL games played for goaltenders.
3.Players whose contracts have been bought out by their former team.
4.Players who do not meet either Group 3 or Group 6 requirements, but who have not been tendered a contract offer by the Monday after the NHL Entry Draft or June 25 (whichever is later). All other players are Group 2 restricted free agents. (See the next section.)
For purposes of the above, an accrued year is generally defined as having been on an NHL roster for 40 games in a season (30 for goaltenders)."
Bishop never played 28 nhl games, but does him signing with Ottawa mean that his contract didn't 'expire'? & he was tendered a contract offer by Monday of the draft or June 25. To me it looks like he's RFA after his contract ends with Ottawa next year, as long as he gets to 28 total nhl games & Ottawa offers a contract renewal.
Edit: Group 6 is a clause to allow 25 year olds+ to walk away from teams who have buried them in the minors & are not likely to come to a contract agreement.

Under that 2nd Group 6 ranking I do not think it applies to Bishop since he has 3 years of pro experience BUT has played in the NHL for more than the required amount of games and is not yet 27.
Anybody willing to trade Anderson for some assets and go with a Bishop/Lehner tandem?
No, sir. Not interested in going with such a young/unproven tandem. Anderson has been great for us. Ride him until his contract expires and then re-evaluate. I'd rather see Bishop walk then trade Anderson.

Bishop has only played 23 NHL games.

Anderson has given the Sens .919% goaltending since joining the team.Leafs goaltending wasn't bad because they were inexperienced, they were bad because they were bad.
Anderson is a below-average starter and if someone would give us assets to get him I'd love that. But that's not realistic, so I imagine Bishop walks to make room for Lehner. Or Sens let him walk, I should say. Really not much else to do if there's no season.

I'd trade Anderson if he can get us a good top 3 DMan and if Lehner continues to be a top 3-5 AHL goalie all year.
The market for goalies isn't the greatest, I doubt anyone would give a legit top 3 dman

Yeah, a nice stretch of games when he first got here and then 20th in svs% (only counting starters). He's been good, not great, I'd say.
Really regretting that Bishop trade. 2nd rounder in a deep draft for maybe only 10 games.
