Binner

Imagining Binnington absolutely raging every time he's hung out to dry by EDM is a hilarious thought

I understand that the knee jerk reaction is that every team can help our EDM, but Binnington is an awful goaltender and on a worse contract. Look over the last 5 years...including his current "hot streak"

Binnington had a .9045 SV%
Campbell had a .9042 SV %

You literally have to go into the "ten thousandths" of points to get into the difference between these two goalies over the past 5 years.

His raging is generally provoked. It’s not a raging from teammattes allowing wide open players around the net, the Blues have done a boatload of that lately.

Statistically true. Possibly very accurate too. But the difference is one has had a lot more success in the playoffs and also has shown the ability to get hot enough to cover for a bad defense. The other is currently on waivers.

Yes Edmonton can look elsewhere as they should do the due diligence to do so. But in all reality they have to do something whereas nobody else really needs to.

Fair points.

It's just that the math for a starting goalie with a SV% difference of .000313 over the course of 1 full season amount to roughly half of 1 goal. If EDM wants to dump a contract and pay this price it's probably not going to be acquiring Binnington. It'll be a pure contract dump.
