Value of: Semyon Varlamov

[Moose and Squirrel]

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

think the Isle are looking to save cap. wouldn't this be just the opposite?

Now that would just make too much sense.

I did say work around, but alrighty

I for one would be very interested in this. Think kuz would flourish once again under Barry. Hickey would also have to be going the other way in order to make this work among other pieces of course.

I am guessing Kuznetsov has more value then Varly BUT if the offer was put on the table I would take it in a heartbeat despite the fact Kuznetsov's contract is a huge problem for Islanders cap situation because I would just turn around and trade Kuznetsov

I did say work around, but alrighty

so Washington would take more cap back in another player? like Leddy.. or..?

 

[SCMURRAY]

Isles wont move him. Would have to be a big overpay. Lou values goaltending very highly. Even tried to acquire Varly before signing Lehner. He wont be moved

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.

I think the likely partner is a team way below the Cap if they can get him for very little, if the Isles won't take significant salary back.
Someone like Arizona, Buffalo, or Detroit if they can only send a 3rd or 4th round pick. Maybe a 2nd. Varlamov's days of bringing back a 1st like the Capitals did for him are long over. We've seen this before.

I’d take him back in Colorado. Would prefer Grubauer but he’s likely going to command north of 6M and likely more term. Varly for 2 years is the perfect amount of commitment.

Take back Compher/Donskoi and I’d pay a 1st although I realize that kinda defeats the purpose of trading Varly.

Does Colorado have a young goalie for their future? Or do they plan on rotating through veteran stop gaps?

The cap hit for both Compher and Donskoi is too substantial for the return. If the Islanders were to get desperate and move him, it would have to be to move the salary as a whole with prospects and picks coming back instead of a small decrease in salary.

Andrew Ladd…

Goalie of the future is subjective because you usually don’t know you have a goalie for the future until they prove they’re already capable of being that and if that were the case they wouldn’t be in the market for a goalie lol.

Annunen is one of the better goaltending prospects out there but goaltending prospects are never a sure bet.

Well if it defeats the purpose of trading Varly,why would the nyi do this?

 

[CREW99AW]

Isles have $3.8m in cap space + Boychuk's $6m freed up from LTIR.
The biggest questions are whether Ladd and his $5.5m caphit end up on LTIR and who Seattle takes in the expansion draft. It would help if they took one of the $5m caphits.

Both ufas Cizikas and Palms want to return. I wonder who is a higher priority for the isles.

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

Andrew Ladd…

gotcha.. makes more sense then

 

[Homesick]

Which goalie are the Islanders exposing in the expansion draft?

My guess is Cizikas based on his tenure and position. Palmieri is a higher profile UFA though but I could see them signing Casey first.

 

[Isles72]

I wouldnt be trading Varlamov until Sorokin signs an extension .

if Sorokin insists on a 1 year deal he becomes ufa in 2022

I would like Casey back,but I am leery about the Isles giving him to much term. I was not happy with the 4 yrs Martin got .

Neither am I but losing Casey would be a HUGE dent in the bottom 6. They don’t have a quality replacement center in the system unfortunately.

Agree regarding Casey but as for Martin...

Unless Marty Marts play falls off a cliff, he's nearly outperformed the entirety of his deal already. Don't be surprised to see him on the protected list for the expansion draft.

 

[Foppberg]

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?

This. Varly is so underrated, and the perfect guy to roll with until Sorokin officially/definitely takes the reins.

 

[Tres Peleches]

Varlamov is Sorokin’s best friend as well. Let him stay for at least one more year, help him ease into the league
