Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic: How much of a raise should a goalie like Jordan Binnington garner after winning the Stanley Cup? T
he closest comparable was Andrew Hammond but Hammond faded in round one of the playoffs. Hammond saw a raise to $1.35 million AAV. However, Binnington again guided a team to that cherished trophy.
Again, St. Louis pinned in a tough spot has a decision to make. They need Jordan Binnington to not regress a ton as Jake Allen is little more than insurance now.
Matt Murray was another example but his extension did not kick in until the following year.
