I don't see Greiss resigning next year and certainly not for less money. The guy has been stellar the last two years. Someone will give him a starters job or an opportunity to be a 1A. Varlamov was brought over to be the #1 while they work Sorokin into that role (assuming he's coming over). Next year you'll likely see either a Varlamov/Sorokin tandem, as I don't see Sorokin coming over to play a year in the AHL. Or, if they can convince Sorokin to come over AND start in the AHL, you'll see either Gibson as the backup or a 1 year stop gap backup brought in.
If Sorokin comes over you'll see him broken in slowly with Varly getting most of the starts next year and then a more even split the year after, with Sorokin taking over as the starter in Varly's last year of his deal.
