Speculation this morning that the Oilers and Blues are working on a goalie swap. Skinner for Binnington.
Binner's having a terrible year, and the Blues would need to retain salary in order to make it happen.
I'm not sure how I'd feel about that trade. He's had a pretty good record the past few years, but has been absolutely awful this year.
|
Yeah, mixed feelings for sure. He doesn't seem like a very good person vs. Stu who does. So on the human element, we probably lose that trade.
That said, he has a track record of coming through in big moments – the Stanley Cup run and the 4 Nations Cup come to mind immediately. He honestly probably should have won the Conn Smythe and maybe the Hart his rookie year – if he doesn't come in mid-season and play lights out, the Blues don't make the playoffs, much less win the Stanley Cup. The turnaround that team had with Binnington in the crease was historic.
Like Skinner though, he has ups and downs. He's had a lot of downs this year.
I think there's a lot of questions around Binnington, and if he is the answer. But probably you still make that deal, because it has become quite clear that Skinner is not the answer.
|
I'd be thrilled if they could make this happen but I expect the Oilers would have to add a lot to make it work as salary would probably have to be retained. If they can figure out a way to get Skinnner out and Binnington in then make it happen.
Curious why is Skinner a good person and Binnington isnt in your opinion?
|
My take. Tough to judge true character, but optically Skinner is a soft spoken, caring team mate that you can see the team rally’s around and Binnington looks like a loud mouth d-bag.
I doubt that the reason Skinner is off, but Binnington’s competitiveness can come across as A-Hole, right or wrong. We are not in the dressing but him and his toucan Sam big nose can bugger off.
