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.
"Jordan Binnington's trade value is not as high as the value he brings to the St. Louis Blues."
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.
