Speaking of Binnington vs Fitzpatrick, who makes the Rampage as Husso's backup next year?
Binnington was one of the best goalies in the AHL last year, so him.
Yeah...Binnington and Husso will likely have a 1A/1B situation, at least early on. What's interesting to me is the thought of Binnington outplaying Husso (some woud say "again")...what then? It seems like the Blues have made every excuse in the world to label Binny as a career minor leaguer, and who knows, maybe that's what he'll be. But if he puts up better numbers than the Finnish-savior, STL will find themselves in another prediciment with Husso-Binny-Fitz and having to identify which, if any, will be gifted the franchise's future. After the goaltender-go-round of the past decade where it seems the Blues continuously favor the wrong guy, I'm not exactly thrilled with the proposition of them having two AHL studs and having to choose between them. There's a 100% chance the guy they eventually move on from will end up the better of the two...so maybe Army should just offer one of them to Tampa or Anaheim for a 7th to see who they prefer, and keep that guy!
