Moving Money

Varlamov would be solid for the Sabres, but isn't he worth more than a 4th? I'd be very surprised if he goes for less than a 2nd.

TBH I originally put a 2nd in there but considering the NYI need the cap relief, and it's only a one year deal for BUF, didn't think it merited the higher pick. A 3rd or 4th is what I think.

i feel like i read somewhere last year (can’t remember where ngl or i’d find it) that they were looking at a 2nd and a 3rd trading him at his full cap hit. could have changed i guess but i don’t see him getting dealt if the best they can get is a 4th unless they really need to move out money bc of a big trade or FA signing or something which i’d be surprised by

They don’t need to move salary and the asking price will end up being a first

Darcy Kuemper fetched a first and he’s terrible. Therefore Varly is worth at least what Kuemper got 🤷‍♂️
