Husso has outplayed Binnington this season and is likely going to get more starts. Basically its conceivable that he could be the starter come PO's so this trade would really hurt the Blues on ice product.
And then he walks this summer for nada. We need to get away from losing good talent and getting nothing in return. Unfortunately we cannot afford both next year.
I wouldn't do it from an Oilers perspective.
I mean, I understand you have to give to get. But a first and Samurokov (who IMO is not really a blue-chipper, but still a good prospect) is quite a lot to give up for a very unknown goaltender. Especially considering there's no salary going back.

I don't think Husso is worth a mid first, goalies historically don't fetch that much.
The Oilers are desperate for a goalie so I could see them overpaying like this, but I think there would be better/more proven options for the current 12th overall pick

This is pretty much what Sakic gave up to rent Kuemper for a year. But Sakic's a genius for it and Holland would be an idiot to do it.

Who-so? He's a 26 year old with 28 games under his belt. After a few games of Dustin Schwartz "mentoring" and getting shelled behind the Oilers defence, he'd be another in a long line of ruined goalies.

this year, 7-2-0-1 with a 2.02/.938
after looking shaky in his first year (last year) came on towards the end of the season and has been VERY good this year
that being said, I don't see STL trading him with his play being so good and Binny looking shaky. Also, I'm not sure Samorkuv (sp?) is ready for prime time. STL walked him fairly easily when they played a few weeks ago, to the point I believe the coach didn't play him after the 1st period, iirc
EDM really has a few holes, and I'm not sure just getting a goalie is gonna make a ton of difference

He's off to a fantastic start this year. Among goalies with 10 or more games, Husso is #1 in SV% (.938), #1 in GAA (2.02), and tied for #8 in shutouts w/ 2 in only eleven games. Great advanced stats too, #2 in GAA better than expected (LINK). He's also been a highly touted prospect for a while now, it's not like this is coming out of nowhere.
That said, Husso is a UFA after this season and certainly does not have the value of a #12 OA pick + Samorukov right now. I hope it's the Blues, but which ever team can lock Husso into a reasonable contract this offseason is going to be very happy.
Husso will be starting tonight against the canucks, check him out and see if the hype matches your eye test.

Jesus. The guy has had a ten game stretch of good play. Cam Talbot had several years of strong numbers on a much weaker team and he didn't cost anything close to this.
Husso's value probably isn't significant enough to consider flipping him if they believe he's a stronger play than Bennington.

Did you miss the part where I said he was not worth that?
Feel free to learn more about an intriguing young player, or not. The nice thing about separate digestive tracks is that what you eat doesn't make me shit.
Can't say I know enough about this player to really judge this offer fairly.
I'd rather the Oilers 1st and a prospect go towards someone I know and feel I can count on to improve the team.

Jesus! His numbers looked like crap last year and this year he has a dozen good games behind a stingy Blues team. Now you want a first pick +??!? In what universe does he hold that kind of value?
Can we interest you in Cooper Marody for a 1st round pick? Sure, he’s only played one game this year. But he’s scoring at a clip of 10.2 pts/60 at 5v5. Sounds good? Fax the paperwork.
