Varlamov only accepts a trade to Buffalo if he gets immediately dealt to a team that he'd accept a trade to.....Buffalo would probably retain half his salary to help get to the floor, so for the Islanders, it would be a cap dump. Mayfield would probably need to be apart of the trade, since Buffalo is looking for a RHD, and the Buffalo could probably send Portillo along with other assets considering Buffalo may not be able to sign him.....assuming Buffalo can add a goalie. Washington strikes me as a partner for such a deal. Varly's NTC complicates things. He reportedly refused to go to Edmonton, and I doubt he'd consider Buffalo.
