With a six-year, $36 million contract extension signed with the St. Louis Blues, Jordan Binnington ... [+] now has to avoid becoming complacent. The $6 million average annual value of Binnington’s contract will tie him with Calgary’s Jacob Markstrom for ninth-highest cap hit among goalies, according to CapFriendly.com. For me, we already have built such a great history in St. Louis. He wants to be right about not testing the UFA waters and about remaining in St. Louis at a reasonable price tag. There should be enough motivation left over to keep Binnington’s heart burning to be elite and possibly a Cup champion again.
