The Stars created more salary cap flexibility on Friday by sending Ben Bishop’s contract and their 2022 seventh-round pick to Buffalo for future...
After more than a year trying to return from knee surgery, Bishop’s career officially came to an end in December.
Bishop is under contract for one more season with a cap hit of $4.917 million. By trading Bishop before Oct. 15, the Stars will not have to pay Bishop’s $1 million signing bonus for the 2022-23 season, and Buffalo will take on his $2.5 million base salary for next season. Bishop spent all of last season on long-term injured reserve, a mechanism that allows teams to exceed the salary cap, but can be difficult to maximize the amount of available cap space. Daily roster moves require creativity, and players on entry-level contracts with performance bonuses are more difficult to recall from the minors.
For example, in 2022-23, the Stars will have $675,000 less to work with because of bonuses paid to Jake Oettinger , Jason Robertson and Jacob Peterson in 2021-22. In 2020-21, the Stars were handed a performance bonus overage of more than $3 million because of bonuses accrued in 2019-20.
