Maybe the people who are willing to take on Varlamov aren't the same people worried about signing Monahan and Gaudreau.
I know I don't think there will be much trouble signing those guys at all with all the expiring contracts this year and next. Plus we are likely going to have to spend some money on goaltending unless we want to continually hope that we can catch lightning in a bottle with someone.
I certainly have questions about Varlamov but he has had two seasons in a row with a .927 and .921 save percentage in front of pretty average at best defensive groups in Colorado.
