29Maybe Armstrong can use his special mind control powers on Buffalo again to pull Rasmus Dahlin away from them?

30You mean since we won The Cup and he got paid? Yeah. I said i was worried about it at the time. Granted, I haven’t had the luxury of seeing him play much since then, but what I have seen, he isn’t close to elite.ratonmono wrote: Sat Jan 15, 2022 7:36 pm Binnington needs to be better than he has.

31He is rarely mediocre. He's either incredible or crappy from night to night. He's still a slightly above average starter to me, but he's not the Vezina level guy he was his first year. If you look at his year to year stats, 2018-19 was the clear outlier where he just had 0 off nights. I feel like when he retires fans will still be arguing over whether he was any good or not.T.C. wrote: Sun Jan 16, 2022 7:48 amYou mean since we won The Cup and he got paid? Yeah.

32He's not playing behind Petro / Bow as his top pairing ... he's got a bunch of AHLers in front of him .... step back from the edge. A few years ago Army was dragging Marty Brodeur out of New Jersey's cedar chest to be our #1. Point the finger somewhere else.

33Binnington like most goalies will have up and down times. I’m not concerned about his outlook long term or the contract. But I am a big believer in riding the hot hand with goalies and right now that’s Husso and even Lindgren

34He’s in danger of being our Matt Murray at this point. But our defensive game overall is nothing like the 18-19 team. Petro Bo Gunny Eddy are missed.Dave's a mess wrote: Sun Jan 16, 2022 3:01 pmHe is rarely mediocre. He's either incredible or crappy from night to night.

35That's a real concern, though I don't think he's at risk of falling off to the degree that Murray did. Part of it is the team has evolved since the Cup year. The D certainly isn't as stout, but the team also scores a lot more and plays a bit more offensive minded. I've been on both sides of the Binnington fence over the last few years, but looking around the rest of the league, there are really only a handful of guys that you can really depend on on a yearly/nightly basis...like less than 5. I also don't think his contract is a problem as long as their backup isn't making very much.ratonmono wrote: Mon Jan 17, 2022 12:26 amHe’s in danger of being our Matt Murray at this point.
