Best destinations and trades for Ullmark in my opnion

Created by: dons_weeney
Team: 2023-24 Boston Bruins
Initial Creation Date: Mar. 9, 2024
Published: Mar. 9, 2024
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
These returns are a total guess, and they are what I would want, not what I think is going to actually happen. If a trade is not fair in value, I'd be more than happy to ship out prospects, picks, and or roster players with it depending on the value. Think of these trades as starting points to negotiate from. If you comment criticizing these trades, please include your side of the negotiation so I can understand the value better, instead of just saying "x team declines" etc. etc. Keep in mind the destinations are the main thing I'm looking at, not the actual trade value, those are more just for fun.

Which team makes the most sense in your opinion? What else needs to be added to the trade for it to make more sense for both sides?

PS - the west coast teams are just for fun. Ullmark won't go out west, he wants to stay in the east for easy travel for his family in Sweden.

                      It's going to come down to who he waives for and who can provide Boston with a 1st, and a good centre prospect. The Bruins have their backup in the A and don't need one back in return, and obviously have thin prospect pool they should replenish

                      Philly makes the most sense. Wash, NJ maybe. Rest don’t make any sense really either for need, cap, or NTC.

                      Whoa... no way Boston hands Buffalo such a nice gift. I agree that Philly and New Jersey make the most sense. Perhaps Detroit, as well.

                      oilers/flyers/leafs need a reliable backup more than they need a starter

                      sabres need time for levi to develop & upl to solidofy himself

                      canes have no use for ullmark with kochetkov/andersen

                      It's going to come down to who he waives for and who can provide Boston with a 1st, and a good centre prospect. The Bruins have their backup in the A and don't need one back in return, and obviously have thin prospect pool they should replenish


                      Agreed, although to get a first and a center prospect will probably require more going out with Ullmark. Which I'm ok with. Ultimately building the rest of the roster without a good center is just ignoring the elephant in the room imo.

                      NJD or LAK…would be my guess.

                      Whoa... no way Boston hands Buffalo such a nice gift. I agree that Philly and New Jersey make the most sense. Perhaps Detroit, as well.


                      Yeah Krebs is a bit overrated isn't he? The bruins just need to take fliers on center prospects. No point in wasting pasta/mcavoy prime without a legit c. I guess maybe add a second with it? Maybe a first? Like how can buffalo even fit and sign more high end talent lmao

                      Makes the most sense. Ullmark supposedly nixed trades to each of those teams. NJ was surprising though. I understand not wanting to be in LA

                      Wings could buyout Husso and trade for Ullmark.

                      Don't know if Boston would trade him to a division rival?

                      Don't know if Ullmark would waive for Detroit?

                      They're buying time for Cossa/Augustine.

                      Ullmark nixed a trade to NJD? I had not seen that. I read that they spoke, but sounded like they didn’t get close to a trade offer.

                      Forgot about Augustine. Cossa doesn't seem to be trending in the right direction I've heard. I wouldn't worry too much about trading him to a division rival. More about the return. Play to win, don't play to not lose!

                      Actually Cossa is trending in the right direction.

                      I don't know who you're talking to? 🤭

                      He's having an outstanding season in Grand Rapids.

                      Apparently it was Thursday night. Not positive though. From what I can tell there was a three way trade developing between LA/BOS/NJ. My best guess is Dubois to BOS, Ullmark to NJ, maybe Toffoli and a NJ goalie to LA? Something seems off with that though.

                      Probably should have offered him for Mitts. Or maybe they did, and Buffalo was not comfortable handing him to Boston.

                      Would've been such a good deal... looking back it's obvious he was available considering cozens/thompson are locked up and 1/2c. Missed out on Mitt and Hertl by chasing PLD... feels bad lmao

                      He reportedly has 14 of the 16 WC teams on his NTC; dude does not want to be West of the Mississippi apparently

                      I had seen that too…Kevin Weekes had tweeted a similar item late Thursday night. But I read elsewhere that Ullmark nixed a trade to a west coast team. So maybe it was just Ullmark to LAK that he killed. Also somewhere someone said that 14-of-16 teams on NTC were western conference.

                      I am guessing the multi team scenario was the trade Fitzgerald talked about after deadline…where he was having to give up two good assets (Toffoli and maybe Holtz?) because it was too steep a price. I think part of the calculus in offering Holtz for Markstrom was thinking Toffoli would extend. But I don’t think he ever planning on selling both.

                      The Avs aren't going to be in the market for a starter; they'll ride with Georgie then see where they're at in June of next year.

                      I was hoping the Avs would sign Ullmark before the 21-22 season but this playoff run will determine Georgiev future in COL.

                      Ullmark loves playing for Boston because they accept him and it’s a quicker flight for his family (there is a 7 hour difference in flight)

                      I do think the PLD for Ullmark deal has rationale for both teams. Each team has a ready made replacement (Turcotte for PLD and Swayman for Ullmark). It’s a massive risk for both teams. The geography comment fits that much more than Jersey and Seravelli pointed to LA.

                      I don’t believe he nixed a deal to Jersey. If anything, my guess is Sweeney wanted more than Toffoli for Ullmark, which is fair. Jersey wasn’t willing to pay what Sweeney asked for

                      Sabres MIGHT be willing to do something like that
                      But we’re also really happy w how UPL developed this year,
                      so we might just look for a Vet backup in free agency

                      Honestly that's good for both. Ullmark is an excellent piece to try and use in a package for a center or/or C prospect which New Jersey doesn't have available

                      It sounded to me there was at least some attempt at 3-team deal (Toffoli to LAK…Ullmark to NJD), but it didn’t sound like it got very far. Fitzgeralds comments after deadline made it sound like NJD was asked to put up another asset (maybe Holtz) and it just got too steep for him.

                      My guess is it wasn’t Holtz, but it was a higher draft pick than he was willing to give.

                      Interesting, I heard Ullmark may have nixed the trade there. So I guess it's still a possibility he can go there. NJ's prospects are overwhelming for me because there are so many lmao (and a lot have graduated) but do they have any decent center prospects still? I imagine they haven't drafted many since they're set for years with what they have. Although I'd take a first round pick from NJ for Ullmark for sure. As a devils fan, would you trade a first for Ullmark? I can't imagine they have a use for any more young talent...
