<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dugg133</b></div><div>I heard from someone that the deal that fell apart in the summer would've sent Ullmark to the Pens as part of a bigger package that would've gotten their first round pick, and that's why we requested a last minute interview with Oliver Moore at the draft. The deal fell apart, and the Pens re-signed Jarry instead.

No one knows the truth, and end of the day Ullmark knows his days are numbered here. I think there's an equal chance he works with Sweeney to find him a new long term home rather then dragging his feet and forcing Sweeney to keep him and let him walk as a UFA.</div></div>

Someone on here heard Detroit was involved . 🤷🏻‍♂️


Regardless, Ullmark is happy in Boston. He was battling depression in Buffalo (not saying Buffalo was the issue) and considered leaving the NHL and returning home to play when his contract ran out. I’m not so sure he is going to be helpful in being moved. You can’t put a value on happiness.

I think you’d have to find a place he’d be willing to go, and they would have to offer an extension that would be hard to say no to. Otherwise he can just wait it out and deal with it in free agency. He’ll be 32 in that offseason. I don’t see teams lining up to give him 5+ years for big $. It will likely be his last contract with term and starter $ so it will be hard to walk away from that , but extending in Boston to be Sways backup is an option as well, likely a slim one, but an option.
