Thread: Philly Binnington Toropchenko STL Bonk futures
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CantStopWontStop</b></div><div>I’m basing this off Elliot Friedman saying that it’s possible Philly searches out a low cost goalie at this deadline. The rest was mashed together. What better home for Ron Hextall version 2.0?

Also, I’m a complete moron - I know what position sanhiem plays but forgot when making the deal. O well.

I’m unsure what goalie would fit the low cost title (who is also playing well).</div></div>
Oh your good, you ain’t a moron for not knowing every teams agenda. To me binnington just doesn’t fit that low cost, but it sure would be funny to watch him play under torts. They view sanheim as a righty but to me, with how our prospects seem to be falling, he’ll eventually shift back to left. I can’t see them breaking up a future pairing of York - drysdale (former teammmates and buddies off the ice) and shoving bonk to just third pair minutes.

When it comes a low cost goalie, I really only see Allen or a vladar fitting the bill based on term. But it’s fun to think about.

Thread: What should be the plan for the goaltending situation in Philly going forward
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>lowblocksniper</b></div><div>Yeah but giving up a 3rd rounder (any higher and I agree not worth it) to give the boys a chance to stay in the playoff race is worth it without ruining the rebuilding plan.
I don't think Sandstrom and Peterson send the right message to a group of players that are overachieving and playing some good hockey. Getting a solid #2 goalie sends a small vote of confidence from Management to the players like saying thank you for the hard work</div></div>

I just think the goalie market is so ridiculously overpriced that any trade for a goalie would cost an arm and a leg. There is a reason why vladar, Allen, Primeau, Gibson, Copley, and so on, have not been moved yet, the price is so lucrative. Montreal was likely demanding a second-plus for Allen, and although that ship has sailed, is a good indicator it is not our best interest to move for a goalie. But I do agree with your sentiment, and is why I like the Drysdale acquisition given the situation.
