Thread: Is he worth a look
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>People are on you because it isn’t that easy. If it were, it would have happened already. Teams with cap space are weaponizing it. Deals like Taylor hall for Regula and Mitchell.

It would likely require Arviddsen being shipped and I’d rather have him than Mantha personally.

I could see Arvidssen, Talbott, and a number 1 for Ullmark and Boqvist, but I doubt either team does that deal.</div></div>

The thing is Edmonton already asked about Ullmark in the offseason and looking at LA and EDM goalie situations, they both STINK. Ullmark’s price is going up and will continue to the deadline. His price won’t be that high in the offseason. If they get desperate enough they will absolutely make cap room for him.

Thread: Is he worth a look
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>I am hoping for a two goalie rotation in the playoffs keeping our guy healthy. It’s pretty obvious that both can flourish in that situation and are good enough to be solid number 1’s. What isn’t obvious is whether Ullmark can hold up to the wear and tear of being the sole goaltender.

Eventually, we will have to make a decision but it should t be for futures unless it’s the offseason and you can use cap space to get something very good. I had flag a few futures deals with the Kings last offseason, but they don’t have the cap flexibility or mindset to spend money on goaltending.

The closest thing to a win now deal would be something like Zach Hyman and Stuart Skinner for Linus Ullmark and Derek Forbort … and that deal is debatable on how much it would help

With regards to Turcottte, I probably wouldn’t trade Lysell for him because Lysell has more time to emerge before you have to expose to waivers.</div></div>

I think Swayman is better than Ullmark and we should ride with him as he should be the starter for the next decade and Bussi is an nhl level goalie who can easily play 20 games this year in the Bruin defensive system. As far as Ullmark for a roster player I would rather get a really good prospect or young player, save the money and sign Lindholm next year as the number 1 center.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>LA and EDM don’t have the cap space to take Ullmark. They have to move salary to do it. Wether it’s a separate trade or Boston taking cap back.

Again, Boston is not moving Ullmark for cap space this year. They move him to improve the roster. Otherwise they wait til the deadline or the offseason.

Offer sheet. You’re funny. Nobody actually does it and they have a ton of cap space next season, matching won’t be a problem.</div></div>

Again, no sh*t, this is dependent on if they really need a goalie and make room for one

Yes this is a deadline deal

He already went to arbitration and obviously wants to be a starter. As far as offer sheets go if the cap goes up what they say it will there will be a lot of them this offseason, you’re confused with guys actually accepting offer sheets and being offered one. A lot of guys get offer sheets but don’t sign them and they don’t get reported. Ullmark getting moved is inevitable might as well do it at the deadline when his value is highest and ride Swayman to the finish line because he should be the starter for the next decade.

Thread: Does this work
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tupty</b></div><div>Why are you under that impression about Poitras? 9 games is a deadline to make a decision, but I saw no evidence to send him down yet.

I would say that Zacha is even lower than you suggest... he is a passable 2C who the team is hoping has more to give, but we can agree he is not the ideal 1C at least for now. But even if Nuge is better, I don't want the team to give up their two best trade assets to hitch their cart to him as a 1C. He is also more of a 2C on a competitive team, and he is now on the wrong side of 30.</div></div>

I have a feeling Sweeney is going to send him back to juniors which I don’t want to happen. I think he sends him down, moves geekie to 3rd line center, and puts Heinen on the wing then Sweeney starts trading off pieces like Ullmark, Grz, and maybe even Debrusk to regain draft capital after giving up so much last year because they won’t be able to compete with the top dogs in the eastern conference this year, that’s my prediction of what I think will happen. I would rather see the young guys stay up this season and I do agree with trading some pieces because I would rather see guys like Merkulov, Lysell and Lohrei get a chance rather than guys like JVR and Forbort.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tupty</b></div><div>I would not do this. Nuge for DeBrusk might have made sense before, but right now the C situation is much less dire with Poitras. Unless DeBrusk is seeking 7m+, the Bruins should keep him because he is 4 years younger, so he will have a positive impact for longer. Throwing in Ullmark too and only getting back Foegle makes it worse.</div></div>

I’m under the impression Poitras is going back to juniors after 9 games, which I don’t think should happen. Debrusk is definitely going to get a raise probably over 6 million and I think that money probably should be spent else where next year at the center position like Lindholm from Calgary unless you can trade for a center. Coyle is a great 3rd line center and Zacha is a great second line center, neither are a first line center.
