Value of: Joel Hofer

[ToastedRavioli]

Not saying the Blues are necessarily going to trade him this offseason, but I imagine either Hofer or Binnington will be traded within the next four years. I cannot imagine Hofer will want to stay as a backup till he is thirty. I'm curious what people would be willing to offer, specifically fans of teams desperate for a goalie like Edmonton. The goalie market is notoriously a buyer's market.

Hofer's stats:
23-24: 27 games started, 15 wins, 12 losses, 1 OTL. .914
24-25: 28 games started, 16 wins, 8 losses, 3 OTL. .904

He is 24 years old and is an RFA this offseason.

Hofer will sign a 2 Year ~1.5Mil contract and we will make a decision after next season and run back this core next year.

From what ive heard people close to Hofer think he's going to get a contract similar to Woll, and St. Louis will look to trade Binnington. But this was a few months ago, another Binnington playoff run could change that.

I have no doubt in my mind the Blues keep Hofer, its just a matter of how long do they keep Binnington and when do they want to hand the reigns over to Hofer
