No, as a team with Markstrom why’d I want to trade for Binnington because they are similar goaltenders. You are either overrating Binnington or underrating Markstrom. Their results are basically the same over the last three years and Markstrom has slightly better career results.
If I was Carolina who doesn’t have a goalie as good as either I’d take whoever I could acquire cheaper.
