Thread: Bruins Big Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bruins_Guy613</b></div><div>so they we have to establish which teams out west he'd agree to. if he's got a 15 team no trade list and Canadian teams are on it that means 3 from the Atlantic are a NO which means there's midwest-west teams he'd say yes to or hasn't blocked.</div></div>

The overall consensus is his current 16 team list which is in affect until July 1st is - the entire Pacific Division, rest of Canada, Zona/Utah, Colorado, Columbus, random 16th nobody agrees on.

On July 1st with one year remaining under contract if he wants as much control as possible, he takes teams like Vegas, Winnipeg, Seattle off his list and adds teams like NJ, Detroit, Chicago? Which leaves almost everyone on his available list, not in need or not in position to. In essence he’d almost be in complete control…if he wants 🤷🏻‍♂️

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Jones was an RFA
Varlamov was an RFA
Schneider had 2 years left
Vokoun had 4 years left

(and all those guys were younger)

Kuemper was a rental, but buying team had already dealt their 2nd and were a contender, so the 1st was likely to be a 27-32 pick.

Korpisalo, Raanta, Miller, Toskala, Roloson, Wregget were also rental goalies that have returned a 1st (but all with other pieces attached).

Hasek, Ranford, Hextall were rental goalies that returned 1sts. But Hextall was a trade down, Hasek was Hasek.

There has not been any instance, in cap era, where a team who has missed the playoffs has sold a 1st for a rental goalie.

If NJD sold a 1st for Ullmark or Saros...that would be the first.</div></div>

I did not say anything about NJ giving up this years 1st. In fact i have blasted others for trying. I never have. I have always said next years, top 15 protected.

My response was to the comment that goalies rarely get 1sts, thanks for proving my point that that is an absurdly incorrect take. 👍🏻

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HOI2k</b></div><div>I know they have a good goaler in Providence, but Daws has been really good generally. Could easily step in if Bussi faulters, or remain in Providence long term. Creates good space for you. No one knows what Ullmark turned down, and no one knows what the offers are. Rare to get a 1st for a goalie.



Sure - but Mercer is 22 - has played every game so far in a young career. 27G just a year ago, and is def a top six forward, PP, PK. I'd add a first to the deal. But Mercer/marino would help immediately to Ottawa.</div></div>

1 - they have 2 top 10 goalies in the AHL who are both no longer waiver exempt, same age as Sway, nothing left to prove in AHL

2 - it’s not that uncommon, what is uncommon is goalies of Ullmarks caliber getting traded, when they do they get 1sts.

Kuemper
Varly
Martin Jones
Tomas Vokoun
Schneider

All got 1sts +, most have less value than Ullmark.
