The Canes will not be trading y'all a first or Morrow let alone both at the same time for Ullmark.

Canes pass.

canes say no very quickly

Too much for Ullmark. Maybe a low 1st from someone or a high 2nd but that's it.

Canes and no team in the East should be helping the Bruins with their cap. Ullmarek would have few teams on his trade list that want/or could afford him (Canes would be one), so it's not like the Bruins would have any leverage in the trade return. Canes might get better value offer sheeting Swayman.

Absolutely not for the Canes. This class in terms of netminders is way too strong to be using one of the best defensive prospects in the league and a 1st on a goalie that laid a giant egg in the playoffs. Would much rather offer sheet Swayman, which would come at a lower cost of asset, than this

I think CBJ would gladly give that for 1 year of Grzelcyk as they wait for non Jiricek (who is hopefully an NHLer next year) D prospects to develop. Does he need to play the right side or is he flexible? Maybe end up with something along the lines of:

Werenski-Peeke
Grzelcyk-Jiricek
Grubrandson-Boqvist
Blankenburg

God this makes me seeth about the Grubrandson contract.

Well somebody is going to. Might as well be the ones to benefit from it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

That being said. Canes are NOT doing THIS. Holy hell.

No way Canes give up Morrow. The 1st would potentially be in play considering where that 1st will be, but the 2nd piece would be pretty minimal if it all. More likely a B+ prospect and mid pick.

Quite frankly if they are going to do that might as well OS Swayman and pay a 1st/3rd for him.

Of course after the Canes win the cup they will have a difficult time reconciling trading for a goalie as opposed to just re-signing the guy that hoisted the Cup. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I understand Canes fans saying no for Morrow. Not giving up a first a late first? A first and a different prospect seems reasonable assuming the Canes don't win the cup making them more hungry to add a goalie with an open spot next year. By adding Ullmark you'd weaken a conference rival in the process.

What I'm surprised at is that Ullmark is the likely Vezina winner, 2 years under control, reasonable cap hit and few seem willing to part with a late first round pick (20's-30's)? Contending teams should be willing to go after Ullmark for a player that likely won't fit their winning timeline anyway. Bruins will likely want a prospect that could add to their core even 3rd-4th line, 3rd pair. If the deal is with LA Kings, a player like Jordan Spence would be a starting point for me to fill in for Clifton now or Carlo down the road. I woulda thought a counter would be a first round (28-32) and a lesser prospect. Canes seem happy with Anderson and I'd think a team out of the west if more likely to emerge as suitors but I'd kick the can if I were Carolina's management knowing that Aho has 2 years left on his deal.

I can remember a time when the Bruins got an unprotected first from San Jose in 2016 and a prospect Sean Kuraly (future 4th liner and key contributor) for Martin Jones. The Sharks picked 9th in 2015 so I'm sure the Bruins thought this pick could be a top 15 rather than 30th.

Before the trade for Jones this was his stats: (Nothing to write home about).
G GS W L S GA GAA SV% SO Minutes
LAK 19 18 12 6 -- 0 500 33 1.81 467 .934 4 1,094:40
LAK 15 11 4 5 -- 2 307 29 2.24 278 .906 3 775:22

I think Swayman is on a different level that Jones "was" at the time of the deal. If a team wants Sway the ask is more than the Martin Jones return.

I'm sure the Bruins needing cap room plays a role but there should be competition for Ullmark's services if he actually became available. The Bruins can shed salary in a variety of ways and trading Ullmark is not a necessity so they could happily sit in the crease with him again.
