What the heck is the conditional pick?

we may not find out for a bit. but who knows maybe they will say tomorrow.

Kings said that the conditions are too complicated to list but they do depend on the number of games Bishop plays and how far they go in the playoff if they make it

It's almost like Tampa paid LA to take Bishop. The conditional pick must be like a 2nd rounder.

If it's anything less than a 2nd TB is foolish. Bishop should have been traded to the Stars for Niemi and their high 2nd. Dallas should have tested him out to see if he could play for them and then resign him if he works out. That'd be worth a high 2nd for them imo. They just need a goalie so bad.

Win for Dallas and Tampa

It seems like a pretty easy win for the lightning after Budaj stepped up for the kings as they lost Quick but Budaj wasn’t the same.
That’s the only bad thing about the trade.

But still, Cernak has promise and Bishop left the kings after a horrible stint there in Free Agency + the 5th round pick guy is in the ahl not making a big impact.

So this is an easy win for the Lightning.

Cernak alone make sure this a great trade for Tampa
