there's no shot mercer signs for even double that salary, he might not have been the best this season but he's proven that he can be at least a 4 million dollar player

Blues would probably need a first to part with him rn
And a goalie in return of course cause Hofer is our only nhl ready goalie atm well aside from binner

That doesn’t even come close to getting binnington. The blues are in no rush to get rid of him. If they aren’t getting the return they want, they will just keep him.

If they were to trade him, the ask would likely start with Seamus Casey+

Blues most likely won't sell Binnington this summer. Hofer isn't ready to take over the starting duties just yet and making him the starter can mess with his development. We are fine with having both for the next year or 2.

And why would the Blues do this exactly?

Yeah, can we see a link to this "report" please? Coz you're gonna need to connive Army a bit better for him to give up Binnington.
