Seravalli: Blues shopping Binnington

[CycloneSweep]

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?

So the team in front of him is bad and Husso is just playing super well and Binny is like “my team sucks I ain’t gonna play well”

 

[Cape]

So you’re saying the quality of his blueline hasn’t changed at all?

Maybe you should watch some Blues games.

Of course it has. At the same time you seem to know that Husso is on a hot streak. Have you watched any games if you see the Binnington mental strenght.

Change of scenery trade:
Binnington for Matt Murray with 4% retention.

Blues probably add a mid round pick or a lower level prospect due to the extra years.

Matt Murray is out for the season.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

An average at absolute best goalie... even teams like Edmonton and Toronto should aim higher.

 

[WATTAGE4451]

St Louis has allowed 33 less goals than the Oilers and have a substantially better defense.
And Binnington has WORSE numbers than Koskinen and Husso is stealing his job.
Why would that be a good acquisition? Binnington has gotten worse every single season.

The blues defense ranks near the bottom of the league in xga 5vs 5 and hd scoring chances. Their defense is not substantially better. If husso wasnt standing on his head theyd be struggling to make playoffs

 

[WATTAGE4451]

With what Cap Space? Unless St Louis retain 25%-50% + a pick and takes back Mrazek - what deal is there to be had with the Leafs?

Add coyotes into deal and throw them a pick to take mrazeks contract or eat momey in some way

 

[Mike Liut]

Binnington has been really good lately.

 

[Mike Liut]

The Blues are no longer an elite defensive team. Not even close. Binnington is still good, the team in front of him is worse.

[Accelleratii]

?? 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?

I do but Binnington aint it

 

[McSuper]

Ken Holland is puking and crying rn

Binnington would almost assuredly be the best acquisition Edmonton could make right now so it likely won't happen.

His numbers are bad on a better defensive team . He is not the answer in Edmonton . Then the fact Edmonton doesn't have the cap space also has to be considered .

 

[McSuper]

Might as well call Hughes for Carey Price if you want an anchor contract, at least Carey can win you a cup with a decent team

How is Price going to win you a cup when he isn't even fit to play ? Is roll up the rim to win back at Tim Horton's ? Maybe he can win you a cup of coffee .

 

[Zirakzigil]

I really dont see a team biting on that, especially one he would be willing to waive his NTC for.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

To Arizona with retained salary + addons maybe; even then that's a very hard contract to move.

 

[Smitty426]

What? Anyways , now would be the perfect time to see what offers they get. A few teams frothing at the mouth trying to fix their goalie issues.
Hopefully my Devils are in if the cost is not astronomical. I know there are a lot of desperate teams needing goalies though so we will see if anyone ponies up the cost. I wouldn’t count out the Devils though as they are desperate for a goalie and have tons of assets to use.
Devils could also take a bad contract along with him, or not require any retention (advantage they have over other teams looking for a goalie) to hopefully lessen the cost.

Devils want his teammate Husso, Binnington is crazy, no thx

LOL what does that say about Rask considering Binnington destroyed him head to head in the cup finals?

Like who?

 

[Just a Fan]

Like who?

Doesn’t matter, neither the Leafs or Oilers could fit Binner’s horrible contract.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Wouldn't surprise me if Blues let this to be known to motivate Binny. He is player that always seems best when he has chip on his shoulder and feels he has something to prove.

 

[ClydeLee]

LOL what does that say about Rask considering Binnington destroyed him head to head in the cup finals?

That average goalies can be hot a few months? People tried to warn the Blues plenty to not make him like a Cam Ward repeat

 

[Petes2424]

They may be offering Binnington around but anyone answering would be foolish. He’s been that bad. That means the Oilers are gearing up for a Binnington trade, or god forbid the Leafs are.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Binnington at 50% retained for Marazek

 

[zar]

His numbers are bad on a better defensive team . He is not the answer in Edmonton . Then the fact Edmonton doesn't have the cap space also has to be considered .

Actually… the fact Edmonton doesn’t have the cap space… is a blessing, in this case.

We already know. But we also got two 2nd round picks for Polak.
