Not that we didn’t know but this makes it sound a lot worse than we believed.

He probably ends up on LTIR the rest of that contract

Which is strange because he was taking shots in practice and all of the sudden stopped.

And it’s not like Hogberg is close.

Maybe Lou is gearing up for a big add and needs cap space

Another one of Lou's great re-signings....

Giving players in their mid-30s a four year contract is always great planning . Feeling sorry for Varly though.

When he signed that deal I knew this would be the outcome, no way he played for all 4 years.

Did I miss a report on Hogberg? I was at the game and saw him go out but I haven’t heard anything definitive

Today they said not back until after 4 Nations

Halak. Make it happen Lou.

And Varly has been awesome for us, this sucks. Hope he can make it back next season.

Varly was a great soldier for the Isles. Hope this isn't the end for him.

Fans get their want: Sorokin and cheap ass backup…

We had a good, cheap backup for him. Now we get Skarek.

Years were long to keep average salary down. Team was and is in a cap bind and wanted to keep a capable backup. Easy to look back now and kill the deal. I don’t remember Varlamov having any injury history. Plus who was gonna sign here for similar money at similar talent?
