If I worked in that Bruins front office I would ask for Pytor Kochetkov + Martin Necas. I’d probably be willing to take Dmitry “Bobby” Orlov back with some sort of retention as well.

You think that Carolina's situation is such that they're willing to get deeply ripped off for a goalie instead of a smaller overpayment (goalies rarely get a huge trade return).

They lost to the Islanders. Also I suggested taking on Orlov’s deal if necessary.

If I am the Bruins, I would probably take that deal.

They piled 45 shots on the Isles, successfully potted 4 goals, and still barely eked out a point in the standings. That suggests that the issue isn't the rest of the roster but rather bad goaltending. Canes are compiling the cap space necessary to make a huge goalie move at the deadline. They won't need to trade Necas or Orlov to make it happen.

I’m not suggesting they would make this deal, but I was just throwing it out there. Something like Geekie, Grzelyck and Ullmark for Kochetkov, Necas and Orlov. I was just spitballing though

That is way too much for Ullmark, and if we were going to acquire a goalie it would be to play with Kocketkov not instead of

As a B’s fan just swapping the goalies is probably an even trade.

Boston will not be sellers at the deadline.

In the off-season sure. In season they’d be looking for roster help.

That being said. This might get their attention at the deadline despite that.

Its a great return for Ullmark, flip Kochetkov for other assets and thats some nice work by BOS, although these are offszn moves
