Binnington is the only goalie left on the trade board

St. Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington is the only netminder remaining on The Athletic's trade board following Connor Hellebuyck's trade to the New Jersey Devils. Binnington, who is in the final year of his $6 million AAV contract before becoming an unrestricted free agent, has struggled this season with a 4.68 GAA and an .831 save percentage while losing the starting role to Joel Hofer.

Joe DeMarini writes that Binnington's big-game reputation makes him an attractive target for contending clubs needing goaltending upgrades. DeMarini highlights several potential suitors, including the Edmonton Oilers, Colorado Avalanche, Utah Mammoth, and New York Rangers, arguing the Blues should seek a tandem goaltender and future assets in return.
