#2 Semyon Varlamov

Team: New York Islanders
Age: 34
SV%: .911
GAA: 2.91
Cap Hit: $5 Million (1 Year Left)
Contract: 16 Team No Trade List

With Ilya Sorokin emerging as one of the NHL’s top goaltenders, Semyon Varlamov may get moved out of Long Island.

There appears to be changes coming to the New York Islanders starting with the firing of head coach, Barry Trotz, and their next move may involve Varlamov.

Again, the Toronto Maple Leafs could probably re-sign Jack Campbell for the same price as Varlamov’s $5 million contract.  Varlamov is four years older than Campbell and his contract expires after next season, but Varlamov has been a consistent NHL goaltender for a few years now and hasn’t had many injury issues since he had hip surgery in 2017.

I don’t think it’s in the Toronto Maple Leafs goaltending budget to keep Campbell and take Varlamov and if it comes down to it, they’d probably rather have Campbell.
