I could see that as a possibility, although I think the bruins would lack some leverage in this scenario that could lower the return (needing cap space to fill other major holes).
If Ullmark returned a 1st I’d say “yeah, reasonable enough”
If Ullmark returned a 2nd I’d say “yeah, reasonable enough”
When did we lose leverage and what “major” holes do we have?
We lost Bergeron/Krejci/ Hall/ Bertuzzi/Clifton/ Orlov/Nosek/Hathaway now that’s a lot of holes
And we are still tied for 1st in the league, that many loses would end most franchises!
Would a true 1C be nice? Yes of course
Would another 20+ minute LHD be nice? Yea for sure
Would 3 more 20-30 goal scoring forwards make me happy? Ya what fan wouldn’t be.
But…. Bruins have proved they don’t need all those shiny items to win games.
Bruins have always and will always be a TEAM
Score by committee
Defence by committee
Win by committee
The year Boston won their cup their leading scorers tied for 62 points/ the league leader had 104 and we beat his team.
Sometimes depth and finding players who gel well together leads to more success than a bunch of “all-stars”.
Sweeney isn’t gonna sell low on a goalie who just won a vezina and has still be very solid this season, he’s a smart GM if people don’t want him for fair price now he’ll make you double your price at TDL when other GM’s get really desperate because they didn’t address their goalie situation earlier.
