Analysis:

Bishop may have some catching up to do, but there's been no indication that he is behind schedule in his recovery. The Lightning felt comfortable giving him a shiny new contract, and a recent report indicates that the 27-year-old netminder is on track to participate in training camp. After posting a .924 save percentage and 2.23 GAA in 2013-14, the 6-7 Bishop should be in for another big season.
