His stats have been relatively poor compared to other starting goalies in the NHL, but the team in front of him has given up more high danger chances against than they would like as well ... so the responsibility lies amongst the entire group.
Having said that, there have also been nights Binnington's timing and crease composure has needed to be better. Butterfly style. Good size. Rebound control ranges. When he tracks between his posts he fronts the play well. When he gets outside his crease he has a difficult time regrouping to make saves.
The foundation is still in place to provide positive results. Better than average skill in all categories. High end compete - sometimes to the point of being distracted.
Polarizing - but still a second tier #1B NHL goalie.
