[Gross] J’ai eu une conversation avec Semyon Varlamov sur l’avenir. Il me dit après la victoire 4-0 à Winnipeg : « Est-ce que je veux être échangé ? Absolument pas. Je veux rester avec cette équipe. J’adore cette équipe. Je veux rester ici et re-signer. contrôle. »
Following his post-game scrum, I had a chat with Semyon Varlamov about future. He tells me after 4-0 win in Winnipeg: "Do I want to be traded? Absolutely not. I want to stay with this team. I love this team. I want to stay here and re-sign. But it's out of my control."

I hope he stays around but if he’s going to he’s going to have to take a pay cut
I think it’s great that we have two top tier goalies, but I feel like we could use the money we pay him towards someone else.
I would move him at the deadline for assets and try to re-sign him to a cheaper contract this off-season if he still wants to be here.
I have heard this once before but Varly ain’t no snake, so I hope he stays around
Good, I hope he does stay. Dude is mid 30’s and MAYBE a starter elsewhere but the perfect backup / mentor to sorokin. Come back at half price for 3 years and call it a career.
This whole « trade him for assets » thing is easy for us fans to say. But it may very well wreak havoc on a player’s morale and life on and off the ice. It’s not worth it. Same with Mayfield and Parise. Although in Mayfield’s case he is due a slight raise.
I know it’s just what usually gets said but it’s weird that we’ve become a team that people actually want to stay with
He’ll take a discount, he’s signing.

If he’s willing to take backup money, backup Varly is way more valuable than whatever we’d get for a rental trade. Him and Sorokin easily make the best tandem in the league. Big if though, otherwise it just aint gonna work.
Does he want to re-sign enough to sign at a discounted rate? That’s the key
if he’s willing to take 2mil or less then keep him but otherwise it’s not worth it
if we could resign him for 1.5 for 3 years. id be happy. have him play the rest of his career here, and have two goalies we can rely on when needed.
A perfect scenario would be us trading him now. And him coming back in the off-season at a discount. But that doesn’t seem likely. Good chance he’ll just stay and resign at a discount hopefully.
