He is basically wrong about everything.

I read that too, and I will refrain from regurgitating my previous rant about blogs, but if I were, that pile of words under the guise of hockey talk would be example 1

I'm not seeing anything inaccurate in this article.

I'm not keen on giving up Binnington, and I'm even less keen on sending him to Philly. I like Binny too much.

However, with all that said, if Binnington wants to go to Philly or someplace else, I would entertain the idea.

Dude is smoking some good stuff isn't he? Good Grief, how inaccurate!!

"The Blues are in a financial band much like Toronto."
Anyone who sees this statement ( do you even care to edit before publication ?) as remotely accurate is clueless. I would wager this article was written by a high school student with a healthy love for bad, generative AI.

What? You are the one still saying the Blues never received anything for O’Reilly or Tarasenko and now you want Army to make a trade of a guy contributing to the team, under team friendly term on his deal, for the same return you habitually complain about for fading guys like O’Reilly and Tarasenko? Or to trade a young guy being groomed to replace Binnington for even less of a return? I mean you have posted endlessly about giving up Mikkola for nothing, and now advocate for a similar move?

Your schtick is so obvious and this just proves it once again

The thing about goaltenders is that they can last a long time in this league

The only thing accurate in this "write-up".

[smilinjoefission]

So a 1st, a couple of 2nd rounders, and a big R handed Dman? For a club that was basically .500 for a vast majority of the season and whose D killed them in the playoffs. I don't know...but I'd ask for Bonk (and they keep a 2nd), so Bonk, 1st and a 2nd for Binnington and we'll continue with the rebuild for a season or 3, sign Hofer, and by the middle/end of the decade maybe we have an actual Cup contending team.

All this is bullflop because the Blues won't trade Binnington and they'll re-up Hofer if he's sheet'd

Is a financial band like a big rubber band that…idk…binds you in some sort of way financially? Like the band goes around your waist area so you can’t get your wallet out of your pants? I can only assume that’s what the writer means here.

But yes, this was a horribly out of touch article. He keeps saying cash strapped so not sure if he thinks the Blues are for some reason hurting for money or just up against the cap but neither is accurate. The Blues do show as having the 2nd least amount of cap space on most of the cap websites but that’s because they have a roster of 22 for next year already (only Suter and Faksa dropped off) whereas all the other teams have 14-20 guys on their roster for next season. That’s a very key detail. And that’s counting Krug still too.

That’s as much time as I’m going to spend on tbjs article though. I expect to see lots more though. It’s the silly part of the season where fan blogs will post all sorts of garbage proposals.

Well the Blues being strapped for cash would be one thing. If you spend 5 seconds you will see that the Blues have 6 million in cap space to fill the 3 roster spots they are losing. That is Hofer RFA, Faksa UFA, Suter UFA. Suter doesn't have to be resigned and can be backfilled with Kessel if the Blues so choose. Faksa doesn't have to be filled and can be replaced with Dvorsky if they SO choose to do so. That would mean you would have to offer sheet Hofer the equivalent of your 1st rounder LOL to make it happen. You can only offer sheet your picks so the Blues would get the 6th overall if the Flyers wanted to offer sheet him and the Blues decided to let him walk.

That is before the Blues get their 6.5m back from Krugs contract that currently is applied to the projected cap space for next season. We all know he's injured and 99 percent sure not coming back. So the Blues have 12.5m in cap space. That is strapped for cash?

AND, if you wanted to trade Binnington to shed 6million we would be at 18.5m The Blues would all the sudden have 18.5m to sign a goalie and replace 1 roster spot necessary.

There is a lot in this article that is wrong. Can you at least try 1 time to sound knowledgeable. It really makes it hard to read your shtick when you say things like "I'm not seeing anything inaccurate in this article." I actually wouldn't say the trade proposal is that far off for a goalies worth. But that's besides the point.

hey [decelerate] we have about 9 mil in space not 5 and then we add 6.5 for krugg and if we trade or drop cap. SO how does antyhing he is saying correct. he is a joke just like u

I really don't see much cap space though unless we can unload a couple contracts(Joseph/Texier) until in season when we get relief on Krugs contract.

[Nublues69]

The NHL salary cap for the 2025-26 season is projected to be $95.5 million, a significant increase from the current $88 million cap.


$87,715,978 as of this last season
(not saying they are all gone)

minus faksa 3.5 mil
minus suter .775 k
minus joseph 2.95 mil
minus Texier 2.1 mil
minus leddy 4 mil

so we have plenty of leway

Also Hofer is arbitration eligible which means all we have to do is qualify him and he is off-sheet exempt

Just an FYI, the offer sheet would happen after July 1st, so it wouldn’t be the 6th overall pick. It would be the pick in next years draft.
