Jordan Binnington's days in St. Louis are coming to an end
The St. Louis Blues attempted a quick bounce back this season to get back in the playoffs, but that ultimately fell through. Now general manager Doug Armstrong is reportedly considering trading Jordan Binnington this offseason.
NHL insider Elliotte Friedman reported on 32 thoughts this morning that the Blues gm is looking to make some major moves in the offseason. He used an analogy to surgery, saying that Armstrong is 'talking about major surgery.' The biggest piece that could be on the way out of the gateway to the west? None other than the goaltender that brought the organization their first ever Stanley Cup.
At the same time, rumors about Binnington being on the move this offseason have spread around the league. One team that has been linked to the netminder is the Edmonton Oilers.
The Oilers have famously dealt with serious goaltending problems this season, especially with Jack Campbell, who remains in the American Hockey League. At this point, it is not clear whether or not he will ever play in the NHL again.
Will Jack Campbell bounce back?🥣
The veteran netminder has a 2.56 goals-against-average and a .921 save percentage in 30 games at the AHL level this season. Whether or not that will be enough for him to reclaim a job at the NHL level next season remains to be seen.
