Surprising Development in Jordan Binnington Trade Talks for the Blues, Per The Athletic
The name Jordan Binnington has suddenly become very popular in Canada and in the NHL, as he is our number one goaltender at the Four Nations Face-Off. He has played all of his team's games and has the full confidence of his teammates as well as head coach Jon Cooper.
After a career-defining tournament, Binnington will then face a rather unusual return to reality with the St. Louis Blues, because with about two weeks remaining until the NHL trade deadline, his name is circulating a lot.
He is on some lists of players available on the trade market, but recently, The Athletic announced an interesting development regarding Binnington's potential trade.
Development on a possible trade involving Canadian goaltender Jordan Binnington
In the middle of the Four Nations Face-Off, and just moments before the highly anticipated final, it was reported that Binnington's trade value is no longer very high and is even lower than what he can bring to a team like the St. Louis Blues.
A strong performance tonight could change many things in this matter, but for now, this is where we stand regarding a trade for Jordan Binnington.
If a Stanley Cup-contending team wants to acquire him, they will certainly be keeping a very close eye on tonight's game.
All things considered, he is gaining valuable experience in high-intensity and high-pressure games.
The Athletic
At 31 years old, standing at 6 feet 2 inches and 172 pounds, Binnington has a record of 15-19-4, a goals-against average of 2.89, and a save percentage of .897 this season with the Blues.
He earns $6 million per year until 2027.
A situation to watch for the Canadian goaltender.
