You may be right on that for sure. I do think there would be points of contention, similar to guys like Bunting and Kadri in years past. As in, are his antics going to become a distraction??I would think that the pressure of playing in Toronto would send a highly strung guy like Binnington over the edge. As someone who plays in his division and sees him quite a lot, i think the leafs would be better off getting someone else. Ulmark seems like a natural target, except that he is in the Leafs division. Saros would be perfect, but don't know if NSH is willing to let him go, as Askarov is promising, but no sure thing.
That said, I do think we need a guy with balls the size of church bells in between the pipes. Someone that can look directly into Steve Simmons face and call him out as the fat slob that he is. I am tired of these unconfident tendy's in Toronto.
Of course Ulmark would be great, I just don't see any world where Boston trades him our way. It would make no sense.
As for Saros, it is just a personal preferance of mine to not have a goaltender under 6Ft tall. I can 100% appreciate his talent, and what he has accomplished over his career. I just don't know if I see the fit. At least not in my eyes.
