Thread: Bruins Retool
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Victor24</b></div><div>The pecking order for (potentially) available goalies is:
Saros, Hellubuck (w/ extension), Swayman, Jarry, Hellubuck (w/o extension), Ullmark, FAs.

Ullmark has no history of being this good. Maybe he turned a corner? Maybe he was elevated by a great team? The answer today is as reliable as a magic 8 ball. Teams will not trade a 1st for a 30yo with one season of success. Smart teams at least.

I don't know why you think Ullmark is so valuable but I assure you, the numbers don't agree.</div></div>


Sure, the rankings have held Hellebuyck as a star (rightfully so) and Jarry is probably next up, whilst Ullmark was a shadow figure in Buffalo, but he still managed four seasons above 0.915 (up to 0.935) with the Sabres - that´s what got him to Boston and he has kept that up (and more with the B´s present D core).

I don´t see the B´s ever trading Swayman, so count him out of your equation and Ullmark is no.4 according to your ranking - there are a whole lot more than four teams that scream for a legit goalie. He IS worth more - the only thing that can limit his value is teams trying to take advantage of the B´s cap issues.

Thread: Bruins Swallow Wallet for another run
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CupChaser</b></div><div>Hahaha the Bruins aren't getting a first round pick for Linus Ullmark..... Receiving Weber's deal and moving him to LTIR while freeing up $16.5 mil in cap space is all the return we need.

I'm all set with the Bruins asking for picks. I would much rather have real proven prospects. Unless we want to load up with more Zach Senyshyn's, our drafting and farm system are dead last in the league for a reason....</div></div>

I get the LTIR thing, which is creative in it´s right, but all four of the players you traded can be off loaded separately and relieve 14M cap - three of them are even really desirable goods that would fetch a good amount of return in either picks, prospects or useful players!

Prospects have the advantage that they are one step ahead to be infused, whilst picks are easy to bargain with!
