Thread: Ullmark trade and signing Lindholm
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>His list is not going to change that much.

You won’t find any mention of it. Remember that story that came out after the season started about 1 team made a legit offer for Ullmark. There was nothimg more said about it. I have it from someone close to the situation was that it was Ottawa and Ullmark blocked it.

If you go back and look at the time of it , the teams that were in the market fora goalie, had the cap space to take him, and pieces that B’s wanted. Ottawa was about the only team that fit.

Moving Ullmark is not going to be simple. There will be very few options if any and they will have to take less of return than you are expecting. Similar to Hall or Tarasenko, if there is only 1 or 2 teams to work with you are at their mercy and have to decide if it’s worth moving him.</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.

Thread: Ullmark trade and signing Lindholm
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>Rumor is Ullmark blocked a trade to Ottawa in offseason..

Let’s get real:

Ullmark gets to submit a brand new 15 team list and it’s just for 1 year so he can take a little risk.

Put every Pacific division team on the list. Put the remaining Canadian teams. Still have 3.

Add. Col, Zona being the west teams left and Columbus because they are Columbus.

He can remove Vegas, Dallas, Winnipeg, Seattle as they are not going to need or trade for goalie barring an injury and if they did it would just be a few months.

Then he can add NJ, Philly, Det, Wash.

Guess what…he does not get traded unless he is willing, and he isn’t.

There is zero chance Ottawa is not on his list. 🤷🏻‍♂️</div></div>

Haven't seen that rumor that he vetoes the Sens in the summer and can't find a single article saying that. Can just trade him before July 1 when he submits his new list, not that hard. We know for a fact that the bruins were talking to an east coast team that he wouldn't have needed to waive for at the deadline cause Friedman reported it on 32 Thoughts.

Thread: What I want Boston to do
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>I assume Sam Bennett and Noah Hanifin sign before free agency.

Whom are the biggest fish you are thinking about?

Elias Lindholm
Jake Guentzel

I think Toffoli, DeBrusk, Stephenson, DaMelo, Skjei are available players at a position of need. There are a few RHD that look extremely appealing, but that isn’t the biggest need.</div></div>

I think Lindholm is the only certainty that they're gonna be interested, just makes too much sense for them not to be unless there's a different plan to add a center (maybe PLD if those rumors were true).

Beyond that I think our plans totally hinge on whether the org sees Lohrei as an everyday top 4 defenseman going into next season or if they think he needs to be on the third pair. Probably don't have enough space to sign Lindholm + Debrusk + a big fish LHD, so of you need one of those it means losing Debrusk.

Thread: uh oh
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Until he has extension in hand...I don't believe it.

Considering his history, he should be touchable until signed. He went through arbitration hearing process (80% of players that do end up on different teams within two years). They claimed they expected him to extend when window opened Jan 1st, he didn't. Shortly after those negotiations, he had very colorful comments about getting the respect he felt he deserved. Later as many predicted he would be signed just before or after deadline, but still no extension. (and he was spotted hugging other goalies at all-star game)

With all that...hard to say that guy is untouchable.</div></div>

The bruins were actively trying to trade Ullmark, and apparently it came very close to happening. They don't do that if an extension with Sway isn't basically a sure thing at this point. He's not available, just accept it and move on to other goalies.

Thread: new rumor for the trade that Ullmark shut down
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>This is on top of the deal he nixed with LAK? If he has 14 western conference teams on NTC, 2 in East…who would be most likely Eastern teams?

It sounds like NJD had discussions about Toffoli, Ullmark three-way, but Devils were asked for an additional asset that they didn’t want to give up (I don’t believe it got very far).

And NJD wouldn’t fit the dman thing…only guy we were selling was Colin Miller. And that doesn’t bring a starting goalie.</div></div>

No I think the assumption is that the report about the Kings was wrong and that this is the actual deal brought to Ullmark that he turned down. Bruins have wanted to trade for Chychrun for like 2 years now, so it makes sense.
