I just can't help but think we completely f***ed ourselves. Imagine having a healthy Varly the last 6 years? How much does that change the picture? From team needs, to team psychology... I think we would have been better and even tougher to beat. Varly has always been a competitor.
He had so many great saves and performances for us, but my favorite mental image of him was his reaction when angry after a play. He'd push his bucket up on top of his head and just stand there leaning on his stick throwing straight shit lasers from his eyes at whoever offended him.
He's been healthy ever sinceVarly rules, but that's just it - he was never healthy which is (probably) why they moved on. It made sense.
Now given hindsight etc Varly even playing 30 games a year is better than anything since.
I don't think there's anyone on this board that doesn't love LoC and his crazy work effort.
Yeah but he's probably only been healthy because he's only been starting 30-40 games a year.He's been healthy ever since
He had surgery on the hip.and both he and Luongo said takes a full 2 years to.feel.right again.Varly couldn't handle the workload and Grubi beat him out that final year. Varly has been a great 1B for the Isles, but that wouldn't have been his role here.

An overpayment since they would be trading him to a division rival, and I don't think they are in a hurry to move one of their goaliesHow do we get Filip Gustavsson out of Minny?
They didn'tI'll be surprised if the Avs don't put a claim in for Barre-Boulet.
