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.

Ah yes, Za'Darius Binnington (original post had a tweet linking to Za'Darius Smith news)

 

[Empoleon8771]

Lol good luck with any team taking that contract

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Lol. Wonder if blues can get the desperate knights to bite.

Send the Ontario boy to Tranna in exchange for Mrazek.

We've pretty much known that Army has been aggressive in trying to free up cap space and going after LHD targets. This piece said there wasn't any traction, so probably not much to discuss. It's worth making a call to see if a team is interested.

FWIW, he has looked better since his break, but teams won't take that risk on until he has a longer stretch of solid play.

Zero chance the Knights are taking on a goalie signed for another 5 years at 6m that is playing worse than Lehner.

The Knights are going to be in on guys like Korpisalo/Georgiev/Forsberg.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Generous of Servelli to frame the Blues trying to dump Binnington as "stlblues offer goaltending solution".

 

[mouser]

Hard to imagine Binnington would be a TDL move. Definitely more of a summer trade when teams are reassessing goaltending.

I'd love him in Toronto. He's the kind of winner this team needs. Doubt there's a way to make the cap work tho, Blues would want no part of Mrazek.

Binnington and Campbell would be quite the tandem of polar opposite personalities. It'd be nice if his mean streak could rub off on Campbell a little bit.

At the end of the day I don't see the Blues trading him at all tho

I’d think the Devils would inquire. We don’t have many NHL reedy LHD available but have tons of good prospect ones. If desperate enough , maybe Fitz moves Graves (prefer to move Ty Smith ) plus ?? Assets ?

 

[unicornpig]

the normal response is who would take that terrible contract. but nhl gms have proven me wrong.

 

[GoldenSeal]

Right idea, wrong goalie. Shop Husso.

Have you been missing the last year? Terrible goalie in a boat anchor contract.

 

[Deadly Dogma]

these prices are too high, all buyers should wait out the sellers

 

[StickShift]

The irony of Vegas finally dealing with their Lehner/MAF two-headed monster this past off-season....

...to then go and create a new two-headed monster in Binnington/Lehner.

If the Blues trade Binnington then Husso would most likely be the starter going forward and have cap relief. I 100% understand this from Army's POV

 

[ElPrimeTime]

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.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Good luck with that one, lol

That actually makes sense. Ship out Binny and get the money to get a legit LHD. Who do we get to backup Husso? Chucky Sideburns?

Most likely have Lindgren play backup, yes.

Capfriendly says he has a full no-trade until July 1, 2024.

Except there will be zero market then.

Smart to target the market which has the Leafs OIlers and Knights a bit desperate for a goalie. The Knights have no ability to retain that contract though. If they unload it on Edm or Tor that's a huge win for StL...i dont see anyone biting
