<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>Sigh, another day, another TML fan who's trying to offer peanuts for good players and then acting like those players aren't worth anything (despite the fact that they're, you know, trading for them.)

Scott Mayfield has played 2/3 of his minutes on the top pair this season. He's kept his head above water there - at even strength, he and Pelech are about even in shots &amp; chances, while being +8 in actual goals for. Mayfield's overall possession numbers have been hurt by the time he's spent with his next most common ES partner, The Corpse of Andy Greene (40% shots/chances, -8 GF in literally 1/6 the ice time he has with Pelech.) Not arguing that Mayfield is a top pair guy by any stretch of the imagination, just saying that calling him a "depth D" is a gross underestimate of his play.

Semyon Varlamov is over 30, sure. He was also a top-5 Vezina finalist last year, and while his numbers are only slightly above average this year(.912 SV%, 2.85 GAA, 2.1 GSAA), they're miles better than what Mrazek is putting up (.884 SV%, 3.48 GAA, -11.0 GSAA), and almost on par with what Jack Campbell was putting up before he got hurt (.914 SV%, 2.65 GAA, 6.5 GSAA in more than double the starts).

Both players are under contract for another season at palatable cap hits (Mayfield's $1.45M is an absolute steal, to be honest) so you also have to factor that value into their potential return. There's also the fact that the Islanders aren't in any sort of cap crunch next season so there's absolutely no reason to move either guy unless you're getting great value for them. Dermott is a 6/7th D that doesn't bring a ton of value, and whatever value he does bring is pretty much negated by tacking Mrazek onto this deal.</div></div>

Depth in the terms that he is not deserving of a top 4 D title/price tag, not that he can hold his own in all situations. Varlamov is 4-12 this season, 33 years old, and is being rumoured to be on the block with Sorokin looking like the future of the franchise. He is not a top goalie in the league so again I am confused as to how you think a 1st, a 3rd, a prospect, a solid Depth D, and a historically strong Goaltender are "peanuts". I can repeat the question again, what is your fair value for these two assets?
