we should not get rid of Varlamov. I feel like this team wouldn't do well if we did this.

In what galaxy does Andersen take 2 mil to play backup?

Anderson had a rough season - Mitch Korn and Piero grieco are the best goalie coaches in the league. It would make sense for Anderson to play for a great defensive team with the isles and work with those two so he can increase his value and cash in next offseason.

you want to trade pelech or sorokin instead?

Idk what u have heard abt dermitt but Toronto will gladly take those picks and run- he ain’t no top 4 defensman

Sharks pass. Bellows needs to be protected so that is just we lose him instead of you. A better Labanc deal would be a mid first plus a good prospect

I'd be happy with that return for Sharks

no, but why trade any of them?

Leafs accept

there's this thing called the salary cap

well yeah, I get giving away Bailey but if its possible, we should try and keep varly

yeah that would make more sense - I just read on the athletic that it's possible labanc gets traded for a goaltender.

I didn’t see that one. I would assume that’s a sorokin type and not an old guy when there’s plenty of good UFA goalies the same age as Varly. Labanc would be delt for a long term goalie solution

yeah I guess It depends if the sharks still want to try to win now

I’m curious, if the Islanders do lose Leddy to Seattle, is there a package around a Rielly for Dobson? Or is he untouchable

I think rielly would be Leddy 2.0 in Trotz system. I would say Dobson is pretty much untouchable , Lou wouldn’t include him in a trade for stone (which I actually would’ve done) .

All good I figured he probably was

Is the market for Pelech really only 4x4.5M? That seems to be common thought on all these posts but the dude has to be a top 3 defensive defenseman in the league (possibly the best young one) and I can easily see him at 6x6M.

His comparables are Devon toews (4.1 x 4) and weegar (3.25 x 3). They were both RFAs when they signed their contracts and both are elite defensively. 4.5 x 4 takes him to his age 30 season where he can cash in again.
