Tampa Bay Lightning fans breathed a sigh of relief when the Calgary Flames took the stage at the First Niagara Center in Buffalo and announced their selection in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. As most of you know by now, there were credible rumors circulating around that Calgary was aggressive pursuing one of two goaltenders, one of which was Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Ben Bishop.
Eventually, Calgary did trade for their goaltender, but it was St. Louis Blues goaltender Brian Elliott in lieu of Ben Bishop. Unfortunately for Lightning fans, Big Ben isn’t exactly free and clear just yet.
