Both Swayman and Binnington are headcases.

Give me a cheap Hofer and Zherenko/Ellis tandem any day. In my opinion, Hofer's earned a starting spot.
This is crazy. Hofer might be ready but who knows if he could handle a starter's workload. Zherenko and Ellis definitely are not.

Thankfully we have a veteran, Stanley Cup winning goaltender who had a phenomenal season last year so we don't have to find out.

i still find it nuts this is all over a (very good) tandem goalie who's never put in a full starter's work load

is he even gonna keep the cage enough to be the starter this season and ever be worth all of this drama?

Crazy to see so many Blues fans dislike the goalie who brought us the Cup but here we are. Despite his "antics" on the ice, he seems like a pretty levelheaded, humble guy off the ice and I've heard many praise him as a teammate. I'd much rather have Binner at $6 million than Swayman at $8 million or more. He's a proud Blue and will likely retire holding quite a few franchise goalie records.

Except for those racist tweets from when he was younger as well. Maybe he was young and dumb, but they were not a good look either. That on top of his on-ice antics, he's an easy guy to dislike.

And this is rich coming from the guy who routinely trashes the captain that brought us a cup.

Agreed. Sorry but running a Hofer + Zherenko/Ellis tandem is frankly a ridiculous idea IMO. Great way to potentially damage the development of all 3 goalies in the system.
