Trade Varly bring in...

[Old_Smokie]

I can trade Varly and get one combo of Luo/Lack or Luo/Reimer combos back. I can possibly grab a 15th overall pick in the mix..... should I move on this?

[Kane Ryker]

I wouldn't. Your set up good with Rask and Varly. Essentially, your trading quality for quanity here. Stay with Varly.

Ya, i dont like Varly repeating what he did last yr. Lou will get you saves and a good S%, while rask will get wins and GAA. Reimer may be traded to a better situation midseason too.

Lou/Reimer combo would be the best. I'd be curious how you could do Varly for Lou/Reimer/15th overall tho

No. I think Varly is gonna be worth a lot more than either of those duos.
I'm guessing this is post-protection (since Varly and Rask are your clear protected Gs, and getting Lack/Reimer/Lu wouldn't make sense otherwise).

But even with it being post-protection, I don't think it's worth it. Lack/Reimer aren't guaranteed anything to start. And in your set-up, it looks like goalies are valuable. I'd keep the best two goalies possible: Rask and Varlamov. The pick doesn't make up for losing one of those.

Point taken....

[Old_Smokie]

I really want to grab an extra goalie..... if I move Mackinnon I am pretty sure I can get Crawford and then bump Rask to the farm so I can keep Rask/Varly/Crawford going into next year....

That seems like a bad idea. Why move Mackinnon? Hes future top 6 in the league.

[Pengwin7]

You are nuts.
Moving Mackinnon, considering moving Varly...

Reminds me of my wife - who doesn't feel like she's done enough as a mother/wife unless she buys something... every. day.

Hold what you have.
This is a good keeper group and you are set up very well to win this year.

What about moving Yakupov for a goalie?
Is his trade value so low that you can't swing a "Farm" goalie of any value?

[Old_Smokie]

Yakupov is like the ugly girl in the class..... needs a major makeover before she gets noticed.

Ha... I rarely laugh out loud when reading comments.
But this one was good. Maybe a nose job... or boob job would do the trick!!!
Love it. (some REP for making an old penguin giggle)

Shattenkirk must have some value in a 14 teamer, no?
Seems a waste to let him go! Move him for a G if you're set on upgrading in net.
(Or move him for a LW upgrade).

What if I make a move like Yak/Varly for Landeskog/Lundy.. I see Lundy as a bit of a buy low right now .... This might get laughed off the table but could I sweeten it by adding Shatts as a throw in? The owner of this team also has Corey Perry as an asset I'd like to get so before I send anything could I craft a viable offer without losing any of my core keepers (Crosby/Malkin/AP/Karlsson/Rask)? Or if I could nab Perry I wouldn't feel bent out of shape by adding AP if he saw that as an upgrade. Can you guys help me craft an offer? Would adding Mackinnon to this offer make it beneficial for me?

A little backstory, after next year we are changing our farm requirements it will drop from 200-164 for skaters and 100 for Goalies, so after next year I'm going to have move quite a bit of my farm to be able to stay competitive now.

[Old_Smokie]

Any advice on the most recent proceedings or should I just abandon this and go back to the drawing board?

[Dutch]

if you can score perry and lundqvist for yakupoop varlamov and shattenkirk (I understand you gotta drop him anyway?) id do that in a heartbeat. Even Landeskog / Lundqvist I would probably do.

Now the question is, does the other party feel that way? lol

[First Round Pick]

The Landy/Lundy combo could work I think, but you have a cap hit that Lundy is going to blow up on you next year compared to Varly.

I don't see where Varly comes down much, he played at a top level with a goalie coach in Roy and a young, inexperienced D. He also is a younger G with a long term contract... in a 14 team league I think your goalie situation is the least of your worries.

Maybe a Shattenkirk/Landeskog type deal, where you throw in Yak and get a pick in return? If Shatt has to go, he will start on someone else's roster in a 14-team league.
