new rumor for the trade that Ullmark shut down

Doubt that was the geography based trade, but we will see

I know Friedman mentioned a defenseman / goalie for defenseman with an eastern timeline team.

Friedman was saying that he heard the trade Ullmark shut down was Ullmark + a defenseman to an eastern conference team for another defenseman. So it's something in this neighborhood.

Friedman specially said he doesn’t want to report on other people’s reporting, but there was atleast one serious deal
In the eastern time zone. I didn’t hear that as the deal that Ullmark turned down.

Philly, Ottawa, Carolina, and NJ could have easily fit that description.

To me, it sounds like Ullmark just told Sweeney he was not inclined to change his no protection list in the season

He actually accidentally said Sens fast when he was talking about it and then immediately corrected himself and said Bruins

This is on top of the deal he nixed with LAK? If he has 14 western conference teams on NTC, 2 in East…who would be most likely Eastern teams?

It sounds like NJD had discussions about Toffoli, Ullmark three-way, but Devils were asked for an additional asset that they didn’t want to give up (I don’t believe it got very far).

And NJD wouldn’t fit the dman thing…only guy we were selling was Colin Miller. And that doesn’t bring a starting goalie.
