What don't you see in Binnington that you see in Shesterkin?
For team in sign. I know I may be overpaying but Igor is a monster and I want to get him now before he takes over and becomes untouchable.
The deal would be:
My Binnington, 2nd Overall (likely Byfield) and 2021 2nd Rounder
for
Shesterkin, 5th Overall (lots of star player options) and 2021 3rd Rounder
I know Byfield will be a beast but you have to give to get. It's tough giving up the chance to land a unicorn but prospects are always iffy and it's going to be at least 3-4 years before he starts to hit his stride and I already have lots of solid prospects. I can get by without him. Binnington is a stud and a tier 1 goalie for sure (I tried offering one of my other goalies but it has to be Binnington) but he doesn't have the the same pedigree as Igor who is a phenom and has absolutely dominated at every level. And he's only 24. It's just a matter of time before he takes the throne from Vasi as the top goalie in fantasy hockey and I want to nab him early.
Would I be crazy to make this deal?

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
You are giving the best goalie (right now), the best pick and the best 2021 pick. Hard pass for me
Your Goalies are already good and young, plus you have Sorokin. I'd definetely keep what you have a draft Byfield, he'll be a beast in your format.
1. I'm not sure Igor takes over from Vasilevskiy as the 31 goalie in Fantasy. Rangers need to improve to get to the Tampa level.
2. I think Binnington has shown enough this year to show that he's not a one-year wonder, even if that year was calendar 2019. St Louis is also pretty good.
3. If you are dropping from 2nd to 5th, you need to get the one round pick upgrade. I'd like to know exactly where those picks fall.

I still like Binn over Shesty anyways, so keep your pick.

Agree this is a big NO ! for me. Binnington has proven his value, Shesty not yet. M a y b e he’s the star that you think, but maybe he’s a 1A/1B with Georgiev (who’s no slouch either).

I am not sold on either goalie so I definitely would not be trading down from 2nd overall to 5th. Keep the 2nd overall pick. Would you draft Shesterkin at 2nd overall if he was available and you had Binnington? I didn't think so!
Walk away
That's a no from me, too. Binnington is a young and talented cup winner. That 2nd is way too valuable to add on to (right now, the better goalie,) for a potential star goalie and a "lesser" pick. I think you're better of holding steady.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
I can appreciate the desire to nab "the next Vasilevskiy" because he's almost untouchable; HOWEVER, giving up Byfield, even though you would still be getting a very good player at 5, is way too much for me. Binnington is getting it done right now, so there is no reason to make this trade.
