Quoting: OldNYIfan
The "rumor" emanated from Tweeter or FaceSchnook, not anyone even remotely related to either team or reality.
Rob Blake makes that trade and he, Luc Robitaille and Marc Bergevin are gone by 5 p.m.
Couple of things
1. I think people are running with this note

2. There is a logic behind an PLD/goalie for Ullmark/DeBrusk deal for both sides.
It’s a risk/reward and no one should pretend that it is one way.
The GOOD
PLD could become a star in Boston and Swayman relishes the #1 role
Ullmark behind LA’s defensive structure (which IMO is the best in the league) takes it to another level and Turcotte squarely replaces PLD while DeBrusk’s two way game becomes a perfect fit
THE BAD
PLD can’t be happy anywhere, alienates his professional teammates, and his contract become Huberdeau’esque
Blake decides he doesn’t care about the goaltender position and trades Ullmark for 50 cents on the dollar to sign a middling FA while Debrusk leaves.
