I hope the Devils aren't barking up this tree. Don't give term to goalies you don't trust.

I would not be surprised at all to see him bounce back to form on a new team. This guy thrives when he is playing to prove people wrong.

There are a lot of teams who’d sell their soul for that brand of mediocre - the kind that brought a Cup home. Teams have paid far much more and gotten far much less.
Blues had a strong blueline on their Cup win and now have a sheltered blueline.
Husso’s on a hot streak, I’m hoping it’s more than that but we know better.
Binny doesn’t have the numbers like you’d want but he’s hoisted the Cup, he’s a fighter with incredible mental toughness and he doesn’t choke.
If you’re a goalie shot and your blueline is sound, he is your missing piece.
Yes, he has a sizable contract but it’s not an albatross and hell - how much is a Cup worth to you?

While we're at this, here's a funny idea.
To VAN: Mrazek (1mil retained), Liljegren, Kostin
From VAN: Halak, Schenn, Motte
To TOR: Binnington (1mil retained), Motte
From TOR: Liljegren, Mrazek (1mil retention)
To STL: Halak, L.Schenn
From STL: Binnington (1mil retention)
To VAN: Mrazek (1mil retained), Liljegren, Kostin

You are out surfing. ”You know better that Husso is on a hot streak.” Lol.
After that you’re praising Binnington.
Have you watched any Blues games. Binnigton may have Ok numbers lately, but everyone sees that it’s not gonna hold. He’s all over the place in the games he’s played. ”Incredible mental toughnes and doesn’t choke.” He was att the right place att the right time. No more than that.

So you’re saying the quality of his blueline hasn’t changed at all?
Maybe you should watch some Blues games.
I don't know what's worse, your takes on Giroux or your takes on Binnington.
He has a good run when he broke into the league, helped the Blues win a fluke Cup, and he's getting paid for it retroactively. He might be a good option as a backup, but he's not worth $6 million to any other team.
Binnington just like darling had come out of nowhere and played lights out , however both got paid on a fluke of a season believing they were the real deal... Gms are to blame for being that gullible to throw good money at a player for 1 good season especially a goalie...

Another good comparison!!! The nhl as of lately has really been lacking in a amazing crop of all star goalies that we see year in and year out the same group in the top 5...
The quality of blue line is massively different from when Husso plays to when Binnington plays?
Well yeah. But Binnington himself has also gotten worse and the incredible difference between him and Husso highlights that.
How much of that is Binny and how much of that is the team in front of him making him second guess things?
Husso was terrible and now he’s rocking. So did he actually dramatically improve or is it a hot streak? Which makes more sense?

?? I'm assuming that's sarcasm on your part but I'm not quite sure why. You don't think Toronto needs some guys who know how to get it done in the playoffs?
