What is Varlamov worth?

[parky777]

My goalie problems have been well chronicled. However F. Andersen won a 2-1 game so there may be a little light...

The GM who has Varlamov is willing to consider a deal. What is Varlamov worth? Appreciate your thoughts.

I think you will be hard pressed to get him for anything less than Voracek. Varly hasn't been the greatest goalie in the league but he has played very well on a team that doesn't defend well, nor get it out of their own zone effectively.

Whatever the other GM wants? Ask and we can advise if it's worth it but everyone values their players differently...

I actually have the same question myself (roster and categories in sig). Would you guys move him for someone like Blake Wheeler?

Depends on the league cats, but if its the one year league in your sig then yes. At the moment wheeler is still on a point per game pace and if you count hits and blocked shots he is a player worth having.

I wouldn't be buying Varlamov right now. Too hot so the price is going to be high. You'd get Rinne for a similar price but a much more dependable guy.

Yes, it is the one year league in my sig. Do you think it's worth trading Varly for him? I need scoring badly since it has dried up in the past 2-3 weeks and I dropped 4-5 spots for both goals and assists. Thanks.

I think you can afford to lose Varlamov given you have Rask and Mrazek in your wing. Wheeler I think is going to finish with 70pts minimum and thats just in scoring. With the hits and blocked shot aspect he is a stud in that. Though I hope Vary latest performance doesn't hurt your chance to acquire wheeler.

Thanks for the heads up! The other owner was thinking about it, but ultimately rejected the offer before the night began. I tried offering for Pacioreitty afterwards as well, but that didn't work either. I thought he would at least entertain it as his best goalie is Antti Niemi. After tonight, I am officially last in goals in my 11-team league. It's amazing considering I have both OV and Perry.

Thanks for the the advice though! It does seems like goalies are undervalued in my league.
