Goalie and Future

Created by: Leafs_and_Sens_Fan
Team: 2020-21 St. Louis Blues
Initial Creation Date: Aug. 21, 2020
Published: Aug. 22, 2020
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Binnington's performance has gone down significantly from last year. I don't consider him an elite goalie. He's just an average starter.

Personally I think they should keep Allen. They should run a tandem like Columbus.

The Blues had an amazing cap situation with O'Rielly signed way below his market value but then they messed that all up with the Faulk trade. Now they'll have to give up major assets just to re-sign Pietrangelo.

It'll be hard to move money since all the guys that should be moved out have NTC.

i think Pietrangelo is gone. His face at the end of the game said it all. He knew it was his last game as a blue

Bozak has a 10 team no trade list so he could be moved. They'll need to move pieces they won't want to to sign Pietrangelo.

Faulk trade costed them their future and it didn't pay off.

I think so too. His teammates were thanking him. St.Louis messed up big time by signing Faulk.

Looks like they have no choice but to let Pietrangelo walk. Or trade O’Reilly/Parayko which won’t happen. Maybe leave Tarasenko unprotected in expansion draft..?

If u plan to move Parayko i know a team who would pay very well to get him. But in general i feel the blues are better off without Pitrangelo and this could allow Parayko and Dunn to take the next step

Yeah but they aren't gonna be taking on Nylander or Marner for Parayko. It would be Sandin, LIljegren, Robertson and a 1st.

I plan on moving not him. I know 30 teams who would pay well. Just further elaborating on StL cap troubles.

Anyone who thought Binnington was an elite starter clearly only watched Game 7 in the finals last year. Do we remember him imploding twice in that same series? You know how you get a reputation for being good after a loss? You have to lose a bunch in the first place.

All good teams need two goalies. Binnington and Allen are both good. Elite? No. But good enough. Binnington just had a bad playoffs. If they keep them, that's alright. If they think Husso is ready to go, even better- he's four million cheaper than either one of the other guys.

I still think this team needs to keep Pietrangelo as I don't think Faulk is anything more than a third pairing defenseman on a cup contender. But that appears to be out of the question.

Without Pietrangelo our defense is lacking the one-two punch we had with Pietrangelo and Parayko. We need to add more scoring up front to compensate.
