Allen has a starter's contract but isn't actually that good. I'd try to get him, but it depends on the cost. Certainly not at the expense of a keeper.
At what cost does he make sense? I find hot goalies/ kids always tough to rationalize... He'd be my third goalie most likely. I'm loving the hot St. Louis but where does this go with Jake Allen?

Im somewhat worried what Fenton will do with wild and they already have lost koivu dumba to injuries and traded nino. Would it be mega crazy to try to trade dubnyk for binnington?

Is Binnington likely to continue getting the majority of starts?
I have a guy willing to sell on Jake Allen shouldn't be too pricy, if I can swing for Binnington would that tandem be enough to solidfy my goalies for the playoffs? I was going to take a shot at Rask in my league but don't feel like giving up my number one pick (seeing as how I just spent my 2nd and 3rd).
I don’t think I would be able to hit send on that one. I would say the deal is still there next season. Binnington is unproven, Dubnyk has the number one.
Dumba was a huge blow followed by Koivu. Minnesota’s goal scoring dropped to 3rd worst in the league after Dumba went down. They are a better team then they are showing without Dumba and Koivu.
Also real curious about Binnington and the thoughts on his keeper value. Easy to project a regression from this insane streak he's on, maybe Jake Allen figures some things out in the offseason and they see a time share situation next year. I'm hoping to secure a 2nd keeper goalie for my squad, but the price on JB is all time high right now (in talks with his owner, the ask is Stone and a 1st). The prospect of landing a bonafide starter is always tempting though.

some handcuffs just aren't worth owning - Stl. is one. Binnington is worth nabbing - esp. in 1yr leagues for Duby, but I'd be wary in a keeper. Really hard to tell with Allen's contract with Binny will get the leash next year at this point
If they run deep into the playoffs on his back - then i think we see a Pitts/TB situation
