This in from Sportsnet’s Nick Kypreos, his speculation that Team Canada goalie Jordan Binnington of the St. Louis Blues is on the trading block and could well be headed to the Edmonton Oilers .

Wrote Kypreos today : “Binnington has one more season on his contract and the sense is he won’t be part of any re-tool the Blues might undergo. The strongest speculation ties Binnington to Edmonton, and that the Oilers are also seeing if they can get a defenceman out of St. Louis at the same time. That potential deal would most likely be built around Stuart Skinner going back to St. Louis to team up with Hofer.”

My take

1. This is Kypreos speculating, as he makes clear, but there’s been plenty of smoke about around the fire of upset in Edmonton over the team’s goaltending, with NHL and Oilers
