Re: Trade for Binnington
I think I would do that deal. Binnington has nice value in a 20-team league, and with 9/21 categories goalies have a major impact in your overall scoring. You are also incredibly deep at C, such that losing Duchene doesn't really affect you much with McDavid, Tavares, Eichel, and Necas developing very nicely in the AHL. Additionally, Skinner is kinda weak in multi-cat leagues and leagues that emphasize points rather than goal scoring. It hurts to lose him, sure, but gaining Binnington shores up your goaltending with a nice Binnington-Mrazek tandem with Nedeljkovic as long-term insurance.
Ehlers can fill in for Skinner, and Thomas should develop into a better option in his own right within a couple seasons. It could even be as soon as this year if he can sneak into a permanent top-six spot alongside ROR.
