The time has come to move on from Jordan Binnington

Justin Bonhard argues that the St. Louis Blues should trade goaltender Jordan Binnington following a poor start to the 2026-27 NHL season. The writer highlights that Binnington holds a 1-3-1 record with a .850 save percentage and a 4.27 goals against average, having allowed more than five goals in three of his five starts. Bonhard urges General Manager Alexander Steen to act before remaining suitors disappear.

Bonhard suggests the Buffalo Sabres as a potential trade destination due to their goaltending issues, while noting a previous opportunity with the New York Rangers has faded. He adds that moving Binnington would open a spot for AHL Springfield goaltender Will Cranley to serve as the backup to Joel Hofer.
