Maybe. I don't think it'll be too bad as the answer to each team's problem is pretty clear.
Bishop likely sees a prime opportunity to get bank from Vegas and they would likely entertain the idea of guaranteeing one of the top-10 goalies of the past 3 years.
If Vegas signs Bishop, then the market for Varlamov is all but shot. Maybe Arizona would take him on with some cap withheld and do what Arizona does with goalies. If not, Colorado is still capable of keeping him around in hopes of a reversal of fortunes.
Chicago might try to move Crawford, but how many teams realistically can add a 6mil goalie? Carolina and maybe Arizona. I doubt Chicago would move him in-conference and I think Winnipeg will decide that their coach and defensive system are more of a problem than their young goalies.
With Dallas, they'd need to send a goalie back in any deal for a goalie. The only team trading away a goalie that I can see willing to take back another would be Pittsburgh as they absolutely NEED to be rid of Fleury and his NMC. As they would be moving him cross-conference, I don't see any reason for hesitation on their part, either.

No way Calgary goes into next season with the same tandem
