<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>People need to stop pretending that either side has superior leverage. My guess is if NJ made that offer and decided to play hardball that Ullmark gets traded to Detroit for Shai Buium and a 2024 2nd round pick, which frankly is probably my favorite probable package from a team needing a goalie. I’d rather have that package than Alex Holtz and a 2024 third, but it’s close.

If the objective is to lose arguably the best option in goal because you are trying to squeeze Sweeney and pretend to be a tough negotiator, go ahead. You’ll likely lose. There is the perfect opportunity for a trade between these two teams if both GM’s are smart

The Devils need a goalie and the options on the open market aren’t in Ullmark’s class. Saros isn’t likely available and even if he is, you are talking about a different price point. I read the posts above and it’s as if Ullmark doesn’t have the best Goals Saved Above Expected / 60 over the past two years in the league or a Vezina. Boston has had two quality goaltenders. The description of platoon goaltender seems to fit Jake Allen and Kaapo Kapanen more than Linus Ullmark.

The Bruins need to trade him to secure another top 6 forward option in free agency or they are depending on Lysell and Heinen instead of resigning DeBrusk if they sign Lindholm. The irony is that probably is the more prudent approach from a cap mgmt perspective if they believe in Lysell’s talent (he did have a very good year in Providence)

There is NO cap crunch with pending teams that could trade for him. Most of the league has salary cap room, but some have less than others.</div></div>

I could definitely see Ullmark getting shipped off more more or less than a first. It really just depends on how negotiations go with the team in question.

Even if we don’t get the best return for Ully, we will at least be able to use that 5mil on an offensive player like Bert or Debrusk which is key. We can’t go for another playoff run with a goalie like Ully on the bench, he deserves to play a role on another team and we need offense.

I’d love to see Lysell have a good camp and make the team, could definitely pass on Heinen if we think either him or Merk will make the team.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>True, but its a stretch to say Ullmark is a 1G for all the reasons I've put before, and if Sarros is available then Ullmark doesn;t stand a chance. Theres alot of solid backup/platoon UFA options out there and while Ullmark weould be the best of that lot, hes not the best quality starting goalie that is available in trade. Ullmark isn;t a starting goalie and has no history of being a number one goalie.

But the market for goalies is quite small and theres alot of options out there. Ullmark as a platoon number one and a 5mil expiring guy does not have the value of a Sarros or maybe even a Markstrom. Theres only a few contenders who would stump up for a starter (Toronto and NJD come to mind), but if Sarros, Markstrom are available through trade as well as some similar options to Ullmark available in UFA, no one is paying that much for one year of Ullmark.

And while I like the addition of Beertuzzi and Holtz, I think you pass on Heinen and use that money to upgrade the 5-7th dmen.

Just my opinion though</div></div>

I like what you have here, only thing I’d add is even Ully hasn’t played a G1 starter role, he’s still been one of the better goalies in GSAx which you can overlook from a data standpoint and he’s got a 5mil cap hit.

I know NJ wanted Markstrom, and I think he’d be a good fit. Only question is the age, same with Ully too, although Markstrom is a bit older and has a higher cap hit at 6mil.
