Fantasy Impact:
Budaj moves from a strong defensive team where he was going to battle for playing time with a returning big time goalie to a strong offensive team who he will be battling with a strong goalie for playing time. As for Bishop, he is a bigger name than Budaj and there is some upside for the Kings in being able to rotate elite proven goalies to help ease Quick back from injury plus they may have felt a little more comfortable having a more proven commodity as the protection in case issues arise with Quick's return.
