Could be Husso time, but Army's MO has been to have a veteran backup. Sometimes it works (Elliott/Hutton) sometimes it doesn't (Chad Johnson). I know we'd all like to see Husso get some time, but I'd put my money on Army getting a retread on the cheap.
Ironically, Chad Johnson was perhaps the most beneficial signing in Blues history. Armstrong, who has traditionally equipped the team with good backup goaltending, has a rare miss with Johnson, Husso is out with an injury and the door opens for Binnington, who - if my memory serves me correctly - was stocking shelves at the Hy-Vee in Cedar Falls, Iowa at the time. Does Binnington see the light of day in St. Louis in 18/19 if Johnson doesn't suck? Really, god bless that guy for shitting all over himself out there.
Glad to see the Blues find a taker for Allen without retaining any salary. Stand-up guy.... very good backup... but too expensive.
