I can see where your head is that with this deal, it makes sense in some ways.
I've seen the back and forth about Varlamov's retention, I'm sure that issue can be worked out. Maybe don't sign Domi (I'm not crazy about him anyway), that gives some space to accept more of Varlamov's cap hit.
My biggest issue is giving up potentially a decade, as long as the contracts work out and such, of Sandin for two expiring contracts. TOR is right back in the same spot for next year in trying to find a goalie if Varlamov doesn't get extended. How many years in a row will they give up young pieces for short term goalie relief? Tough spot to be in, but I'm not crazy about letting Sandin go for a goalie for a year.
