Almost same amount of games played last year as this and his SV percentage was under 900. Can't throw assets at a guy who could just be on a hot streak imo.
Holland will get taken to the cleaners again. If I was an opposing GM I'd squeeze holland like a lemon.
I can't imagine St. Louis being remotely interested in trading Husso. Not with how he has played so far this year and moreover how terrible Binnington is.
Why would they trade down when Wallstadt was on the board
Signing him in the offseason would be a good idea - if they can fit his new cap hit into their overall situation.A trade in volving Husso now ? -it won't happen. But..... he (Husso) is an UFA next season . Binnington is signed for the next 2 years. The Blues have a couple of promising young goalies in the system. Let's see how Binnington responds to this" out of the Blue " challenge to his top spot
Why would they trade down when Wallstadt was on the board
His current value to the Blues is much more than his actual value, I can't see a trade working out
Pretty much this.
It will be unfortunate if the Blues lose UFA Husso for nothing, but the Blues cannot risk crippling themselves this season and during the playoffs by not having a goalie tandem in place, whether due to performance, injuries or (more) COVID randomness.
Also, there is always the chance that (if the Blues cannot keep him) the Blues could get a smaller, token asset by trading his rights after the season ends.
This Oiler interest talk almost seems like backdoor, off the record tampering through the press to communicate interest in him in advance of the UFA period (“don’t re-up too early in St. Louis, Mr. Husso, we are desperate to pay you and give you a bigger role when you hit UFA”’).
There is half a season left, but if Husso trends further upward, don’t rule out the Blues potentially looking to ship out Binny and keep Husso (and potentially save some cap space). But like I said, lots of season left for both goalies.
Yeah, our best prospect for a UFA goalie on a hot streak. Okay.[/QUOTE
I think Korpisalo is the right move for Edmonton. Have CBJ retain 50% on Korpisalo and give Turris + a conditonal pick depending on if Edmonton makes the playoffs or not.
