So, operating under the unlikely assumption that the Isles are selling at the deadline...

I'd trade Varlamov for Blackwood and a 2nd, if you're just gonna dump Blackwood on Anaheim. Would rather take a chance on seeing if he can be rehabbed into a decent goalie again with his lower cap hit and term, instead of turning pending UFA Varly into pending UFA Bernier.

Parise would only be available if he wants to be available (if that makes sense) - he doesn't have an NTC, but Lou is Lou (as both our fanbases know) and he's not gonna move a respected vet unless they want to be moved. If Parise wants to run it back with the Devils one more time, I think adding another 2nd or throwing in a random prospect is fine. Isn't Tyce Thompson one of Brent's kids? Throw him in to the mix and we'll see how that works. So Blackwood/Tyce Thompson/2nd for Varlamov/Parise. And as a kicker - if the Isles are out of it at the deadline, I assume they're not gonna be using their deadline space, so they can retain Varly down for a sweetener if you want flexibility to make other moves.
