Blues’ Jordan Binnington Trade Update Follows Hellebuyck Move

St. Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington has emerged as a top candidate for a potential trade following Connor Hellebuyck's deal to the New Jersey Devils. According to The Athletic's Chris Johnston, Binnington was ranked No. 8 on a trade board assessing players likely to move, making him the highest-rated goaltender available on the market.

Binnington is an impending unrestricted free agent with a 10-team no-trade list and has recently lost regular playing time as Joel Hofer has claimed the starter's role in St. Louis. Reporter Billy Heyen notes that clubs that missed out on Hellebuyck, including the Buffalo Sabres, Florida Panthers, Carolina Hurricanes, and Utah Mammoth, could potentially consider pursuing a trade for Binnington.
