Wow, Varly’s agent suffers from foot in mouth syndrome. He really believes the medical care in Russia is better than in the US? He has some serious problems then. When you go to a hospital in Russia you have to bring your own medicine! Maybe Varly should also look for a new agent as well as a new team.
He is my son’s favorite goalie, aside from Olie, but he is always injured and that has nothing to do with the doctors in the US!

The majority of NBA players can make more money overseas. Your analogy makes you look like an idiot.

“But they didn’t expect that Semyon could pick Russia. Washington management thought that they were in charge of the situation. But it turned out not to be the case.”

The NHL isn’t the NBA, teams realize there are other options besides the NHL. ESPECIALLY if the player in question is European.
I know nothing of Varlamov, but his agent is an idiot.

If what the agent said was accurate, its never a good idea to bash your current employer when other teams will think twice due to agent interference especially when the agent and player have an inflated sense of what the player is actually worth.
