The St. Louis Blues could never seem to get any consistent goaltending from who they thought was going to be their number one goalie. Jake Allen had the reigns for the previous three years, but now he gives way to Jordan Binnington.
Both Allen and Binnington had moments of greatness last season, with Binnington having the most sustained excellence during his historic rookie campaign. This does not mean, however, that the Blues and its fans should be quick to dismiss Allen.
I am by no means going to sit here and try to defend the contract that the Blues handed Allen.
