Value of: Semyon Varlamov

[JTToilinginToronto]

What would the teams who need a good starting goalie give up for Semyon Varlamov?

Fortunately NYI has a second fully capable goalie, so trading Varlamov may be an area where they can offload cap.

Is Sorokin ready for the starter load?

EDIT: To the point of your post, Edmonton should be interested, right?

Yes he is ready.

I’d like to roll with Varly Sorokin for at least another year. Let Sorokin continue to build up and get comfortable. Starting goalies are hard to find. Varly has backstopped us to consecutive final 4 appearances.

Remember when Pittsburg didn’t need MAF because they had Murray and Jarry?

 

[seafoam]

Try and move Leddy for cap relief instead and roll with Varlamov/Sorokin for one more season (especially considering NYI is opening up a new building).

Then move Varlamov with one year left on his deal if Sorokin proves he can be a #1.

 

[Gurglesons]

Can’t see him returning much.

Varlamov + Hickey for Greiss(20% off)

We offload some cap and get a guy who we know can do well in our system, Detroit can turn around and get something of value for Varlamov

I think the main point would be freeing up cap space. He does have a partial ntc ( 16 teams ).

Just the goalie thing in terms of value.

Yes he is ready.

Who's the backup? Has Ilya ever played more than a 40 game season? I wouldn't be trading Varlamov. Maybe next year but let's see Sorokin handle a starter's load first.

Easy to get a half decent backup in UFA for like a million or a bit more.

I’m guessing a 2nd round pick a prospect that is a forward and maybe a backup goalie if he has a cheap cap hit.

I'd think we could get a pretty good return for him. Reasonable salary for a high-end #1 for two more years. I'd like to keep him but considering who we need to re-sign and the positions we need to upgrade, I don't see how we don't at least listen to offers on him.

Anything to work around Kuznetsov and Varly to bring him back to Washington?

 

[Chayos]

The oilers offer Caleb Jones and a 3rd 2022. Clears up the full 5 million in cap room for the NYI and fills the number one slot with Smith in Platoon. The M-NMC might end it as the Oilers are unlikely to be on his list of teams to be able to go to.

Varlomov is going nowhere. Silly thread.

No chance.

The main reason NYI would be trading Varly would be to clear cap. So I'm guessing it's easy to see why your proposal here is a non-starter.

Picks, prospects and maybe a cheap NHL back up are the only things of interest in a Varly trade.

The point of the isles dumping Varly, would be to move his $5m salary and take back little or no salary. Free up $ for Pelech, Sorokin & Beau.
Kuznetsov makes over $7m doesn't he?

If the Isles were to make this trade, Kuzy would need to go get himself cleaned up from whatever the heck he was involved with last season as well as Washington taking another decent sized cap dump (Andrew Ladd and his negative value). Trading Varly for equal cap hit (or larger) defeats the purpose and puts them in a bigger mess.

Not for a good one. Never a good idea to cheap out on a goalie especially with your #1 never actually played #1 yet.

 

[NjdevilfanJim]

Isles should look elsewhere to save....It's proven you need two competent goalies...Maybe send a prospect in a trade to do a cap dump.

I was going to say a 2nd, but that's about the same value.

Even if older goalies (he'll be 34 to start next season) with large cap don't carry a ton of value, he fits the Oilers' needs like a glove. Edmonton is also the only Western team (off the top of my head) that's looking for a goalie and doesn't need to send cap back to make the trade work. Plus you could maybe use him as a mentor for Konovalov in 22/23, if he shows well in the AHL this year.

Not knocking Jones,but he is not bumping any of the nyi top 4 and the isles have some solid D prospects in the AHL.

Would rather have a better pick then a 3rd pairing D+ meh 3rd rounder

Fair enough, as said I'm good with offering a second in 2022.

If the Oil strike out on chasing Ullmark this offseason, I would expect the them to go hard after Kuemper; If Varlamov is available, I'd far prefer him as a trade target.
