Blues' Stanley Cup Goalie on the Move?
6 Mar
Summary
- Blues face trade deadline with key players potentially moving.
- Binnington trade has a 60/40 chance of happening Friday.
- Binnington backstopped Blues to Stanley Cup in 2019.
The St. Louis Blues are facing a critical trade deadline on Friday at 3 p.m. ET, with several key players rumored to be available. Among those frequently mentioned is goaltender Jordan Binnington, who played a pivotal role in the team's 2019 Stanley Cup victory.
Reports indicate a significant possibility of Binnington being traded. NHL Network's Brian Lawton suggested a "60/40 chance" of a deal materializing on Friday. While the market for goalies can be challenging, Binnington's track record suggests he would attract interest from teams seeking goaltending stability.
Binnington has been a cornerstone for the Blues since his emergence in the 2018-19 season. He has appeared in 369 games, securing 181 wins with a career save percentage of 90.3 and a goals-against average of 2.85. His reputation extends to international play as a former Team Canada goalie.
If Binnington is traded, it would mark the definitive end of a significant era for the St. Louis Blues. His departure would signal a shift towards the future for a team that has struggled this season and is looking to retool.
