Blues trade Binnington to free up cap to sign Husso ; Gustavsson or Hofer backs up in StLouis , Ottawa buys out or trades Murray with retention or he goes on LTIR
would be a 1a 1b tandem in Ottawa with Forsberg

I don't want that piss baby near my team

thanks I got a good laugh out of that comment , some goalies can come off as cocky and or odd.

There's goalies being weird then there's a goalie routinely throwing hissy fits and running scared when someone confronts him.

with the contract, i think binnington has negative trade value in the league

I agree with his contract he is negative value since he's a backup at this point. But I think if there's any team that could change his attitude its probably Ottawa considering we haven't won anything in a while so the cockiness would fade and we're one of the smallest market teams in the league

Ottawa being a small market only drives home even further the point that it'd be really stupid to allocate that kind of money to a goalie who has performed as poorly as he has. The Sens are a budget team for the time being, and they can't afford to waste money like that.

Ottawa won't take Binnington. He has too much term. With his inconsistent play, it would be too risky. Binnington isn't likely to waive for Ottawa, who are often named as one of the least desirable landing spots for players.

I don't even think Ottawa would swap Matt Murray for Binnington, but that would be the only reasonable starting point. Maybe Murray+White for Binnington, with the understanding that St.Louis is going to buyout white at 875k for the next six seasons. Since Binnington has 5 seasons left of term, it would be a way for St.Louis to retain on Binnington without burning a retention spot. Additionally, Ottawa could re-sign Colin White at a lower ticket. Although, he probably goes to Montreal where his former agent is now GM. Montreal tried to acquire White at the trade deadline.

Matt Murray has 2 years left at 6.25 million. Colin White's buyout would be 6 years at 875k for a total of 17.75 million in cap. Binnington is owed 30 million in cap. Unless the Senators are super high on Binnington, I just don't see it making any sense, even with Murray and White going the other way. I am assuming that with new ownership the Senators will make a commitment to winning and spending to the cap.
