Value of: Jordan Binnington

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I still think Binnington is overrated. But his value sure did increase. But Edmonton should be the team trading for him as Hofer could take over as the Blues' starter quite soon.

Binnington on the Oilers last year would have won them the Cup. Full stop.

That alone is worth the price you pay.

1st, 2nd, Akey & Stu Skinner for Binner at 25% retained?

With the rumors of moving Binner, as well as the rumors of Schenn or Parayko potentially to the Leafs.

Would Woll (grew up a Blues fan) be of interest and what is his value to St Louis in a package for one of the players I mentioned.

I think it's more likely that we bring Ellis up than us targeting a goalie in a return. Taking on a goalie cap dump, ideally an expiring one is fine, but I don't think we'd target a goalie that holds any significant value. Ellis really turned a corner last season, and has continued that form this season.

I suppose maybe we would value him and want a Hofer/Woll tandem, or maybe we do what Buffalo did with Halak when we traded for Miller and just immediately flip him in another trade.

Blues don't retain salary unless it is an expiring contract this year. Need a 3rd team to take money then.

Ducks have two retention spots remaining, which I discovered when looking into Gibson.

Flames didn't either, until they traded Markstrom, then they did. Something not happening in the past doesn't mean it will never happen. If the Blues get enough back to make retaining worth it, they will. By retaining 31.25% for 2 years the Flames were able to get Kevin Bahl in the Markstrom deal.

Extremely low. A bottom 5 starting goalie has little value. What is his contract?

You must be so furious at how much Binnington owns the TD Garden.
