Los Angeles Kings Make Surprising Move to Get Goalie Ben Bishop

Looking to upgrade their team as it approaches the stretch run, the Los Angeles Kings have grabbed the best available... goaltender?

With the price for forwards looking very steep indeed, LA came out of nowhere to make a very different move, acquiring goaltender Ben Bishop from the Tampa Bay Lightning.

TRADE:
To #Kings
Ben Bishop
2017 5th round pick

To #Lightning
Erik Cernak
Peter Budaj
2017 7th round pick
2017 conditional pick— CapFriendly (@CapFriendly) February 26, 2017

My initial thought was that the Kings paid a bargain price for Ben Bishop.
