Florida receives:
Semyon Varlamov
San Jose receives:
Sami Vatanen 2016 1st Round pick (FLA)
I feel that this is a solid and fair trade for the Panthers organization. I needed a replacement goalie after agreeing to the terms on the Dubnyk trade and I view Varlamov as a safer and more valuable option than Dubnyk, and he is younger as well, which is why I think he is definitely worth Vatanen. I hate to lose him but that's the price you pay for a goalie of Varlamov's stature. With the wealth of quality defensemen still available, I am confident that I can adequately replace a player at or of closer value to Vatanen. However, the quality of goaltenders left available in the draft is not, in my opinion, nearly as strong as that of the remaining defensemen. I think that Vatanen along with the pick is a fair price to pay to upgrade my goalie, such an important position to the team overall. Additionally, acquiring the 3 picks in the Dubnyk trade makes up for losing the 2016 1st round pick here.
SJ to confirm

I confirm, I coveted Vatanen for obvious reasons and the addition of the 1st in 2016 put the deal over the top for me in terms of value for a franchise goalie like Varly. Ryan should be set at goalie for a good long while and the core of my defense with the addition of Vatanen is looking beastly.
Cheers and thanks for the deal Ryan!

Fair trade for both clubs. Varlamov is a step above Vatanen in value so the first makes ton of sense.
Good job boys
