Are people seriously comparing the Varlymov deal to Luongo or Bryzgalov? You guys realize those were 9 and 12 year contracts under the old CBA right? For a lot more money than this one. Those contracts will NEVER be replicated as long as the current CBA is in place.

This is a play into it deal. Varly can be worth that money, but he's not yet. Like CJ said, we won't know how this deal goes until another couple years. Avs were in a tough spot. If they give him a 1-2 year show-me contract, they can get burned if he tears it up and they're looking at 7 mil. Not a great contract, but it's not atrocious either.
