Isles would decline. I think Varlamov is worth more and Lamoriello also implied he would not be traded. He values two quality goalies and Varly is a mentor to Sorokin

Eller isn't very good anymore, not worth taking him even if its for 4th line duty.

Varlamov has a 16 team no trade, sabres are probably on that. Plus I think Lou said he wants to come back with the same G tandem.

I'd do the Dumba deal. Rough year but hes an RHD and they'll always be expensive so..

Minnesota Declines, and so does dumba. Dumba is the heart of soul of the team and Guerin is trying to resign him. Dumba also loves Minnesota and just bought a house here.

Not trading that first for Dumba unless it's a sign and trade...if not he can be a one and goodbye.

I agree with that wholeheartedly.

As to Dumba and Varlamov, I don't know if they will ultimately be available, although I suspect Varlamov is already despite Lou's comments to the contrary. However, both teams need cap space. Minn because of the Suter/Parise buyouts and NYI to fix the D on their underperforming team. Sorry Minn fans, but there will be a couple painful departures to stay cap compliant with Fiala to re-sign.
