2024-2025 Blues Trade Proposals Thread.

I just don’t think any realistic return the Blue could get for Binnington would be worth the loss of him leaving.

I’d be shocked if we got more than a 2nd + a B prospect. And that’s not even remotely worth it.

Eff Binny… he’s cost us several top 5 picks. Get him out of here. Lol

I wonder if a deal surrounding Binnington and Martin Necas makes sense for both teams...

The Hurricanes don't need Binnington.

I see zero chance that happens. Last off season while Necas was an RFA and wasn't doing this well maybe. But not now.

It could, they'd be silly to move him with the season that he's having though. I do think he's eventually traded, but probably at the upcoming draft if he continues this pace. Or maybe they all have a change of heart and he's viewed as a long-term piece again. They can't let him walk as a UFA.

Their goaltending hasn't been very impressive in recent post-seasons. I'm not one to let their forwards off the hook when their offense dries up in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, but they could absolutely use a gamer like Binner.

Kochetkov is a good goalie and someone the Canes are hoping is their goalie of the future. I highly doubt they're interested in blocking him long-term with Binnington and his contract. I certainly don't think they'd trade Necas and thin themselves out at forward to do so. Freddy Anderson is a solid goalie too so it's not like they're thin at the position when healthy.

I love Binnington, but what he did in the playoffs on the run to the Cup was almost a half decade ago and last season aside, he hasn't performed at the level of someone who you would think a playoff team is going to give up a premium asset like Necas to add.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if the Blues were in a playoff series today, I'd feel great with Binnington as our starting goaltender. I just don't think people around the league put him on the same pedestal.
