Paniotta added that, barring injuries elsewhere, the team would likely wait until the offseason to trade Binnington.

The Blues have never gotten back to those heights since then, but Binnington is the clear leader with his NHL team and international teams.
Just because Canada had a poor performance on Sunday doesn’t mean Binnington is on the decline. If Team Canada is aggressive, Binnington will be the winner of the gold medal game, not the loser.
Would the Blues trade a player like this? stay tuned. It may take a while.
