    Default Kipper or Varly

    Thanks in advance!

    One year would be Kipper, keeper would be Varly. There's too much uncertainty about his age, contract, and CGY decline.

    Depends on your goals.

    Are you a contender today? If you're in a position to win within the next 2-3 seasons, I'd be inclined to keep Kipper in that format. He's still a lock for 30+ wins a year.

    I still really like Kipper. I think Calgary gonna be improved this season and still he's got some gas in the tank left.

    I'm a believer in Varlamov but I do wonder if Colorado is really ready to make a leap. Kipper definitely offers more short term security. Also, don't rule out a move to a contender for Kipper in the next couple of years, which could extend his value.

    Nicely said. Kipper for me. Varly and his oversea's stats cannot be ignored though.
    Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.

    This was my train of thought as soon as I read the title. If you are in a position to make a run now, then Kipper is your guy. If you are still in the rebuild mode, I would give Varly some serious consideration.

    Only counting wins, I would take Kipper every single time over Varlamov, but that's for a single season, factoring in that it's a keeper league, Kipper's value takes a huge hit, and Varlamov's recieves a big boost.

    Not knowing what your team looks like, I say that f you think you can contend for the next 1-2 maybe three years go with Kipper, but if your more middle of the pack or rebuild go with Varlamov.
