I don't think PIT does that trade. Their problems are more complicated than just goaltending. Also, Ullmark is a great G, but his success has a lot to do with BOS's defensive game. I don't think a 2023 14th overall pick is going anywhere for a goaltender, unless PIT is getting more value out of it, like dumping Granlund and his cap hit, for instance. I think the CHI trade favors BOS, and that likely only moves us up 6 spots not 10, but for the sake of the rebuild and getting to the cap floor, this would check both those boxes and give us a 14th overall pick. If TBL goes to the eastern conference final, I could see the value being more balanced, that or make it one of our earlier 2nd round picks.
