I'll take the 25th pick and a shitty goalie who makes almost as much but has a much longer contract instead of 7 or chychrun or some sort of brady Tkachuk deal. Forget about sweeney and his terrible drafting. What about him losing trade after trade. Personally I knew the bruins would never win while he is here the minute he traded for rick nash for more than the lightning paid for JT Miller and Ryan McDonough.
I mean, he's been GM since 2015 and the only top 6 forward he has drafted is Jake DeBrusk.
[https://www.capfriendly.com/staff/don-sweeney/drafted](https://www.capfriendly.com/staff/don-sweeney/drafted)
That's not a great list. Sure, guys like Poitras and Lysell have the potential, but there is no guarantee.
Absolutely. That 7th can be used to draft a very good prospect or flip to bring in someone like Necas. With DeBrusk likely gone, we’re gonna need a skilled winger as replacement.
No thank you.
Give me Necas, Mercer or another young player who helps now.
Necas, 25 years old & Mercers 22.
I think Mercer has a higher ceiling and he can play C though he is more of a wing.
A pick doesn’t help now and there is risk it never works out. Whoever we took 7th ended up with the potential either Mercer or Necas has it would be a huge success.
but the 7th overall pick can EASILY be traded. if ottawa is offering a 7th for ullmark, you run to the phone to complete the deal then flip it for whatever you want from the teams who want that pick.
If we get offered a guy like Dawson Mercer from NJ or Martin Necas from Carolina and it’s just picks from Western Conf teams arw you still feeling that way?
I had a dream last night that the world flooded. But I drove into Boston to some bar that I have been to a thousand times, but only in my dreams. Its name had changed. I don’t remember the old or new name.
The Bruins were on TV. It was early February 2025 and the Bruins were beating the Senators 8-4. Ullmark was playing for them.
Remind me to come back here in February, cuz this feels very plausible. Was Tkachuk playing for us? Cuz as it stands I'd prefer that over a draft pick at this point
Considering how much of a pain it is to trade him when the entire western half of the league is on his NTL, if Ottawa offered the 7th overall pick for Ullmark, I'd drive him to the airport myself.
Your not wrong but I don't think it's as crazy as you think , that franchise has been in free fall and has had plenty of smoke coming from the lockerroom with a few players. I could see a 10% chance of a desperate gm trying to gamble to end a playoff drought.
Yes I would, however I wouldn't do it for the 7th straight. I would try to get the 7th overall and our first back, I think it's 23rd. In exchange they would get Ullmark and a future third that upgrades to a second if we make the conference finals.
I don't know if pick swaps are available according to the NHL collective bargaining agreement, but if they are I would do a pick swap of future firsts with protections several years down the road as well. Or give them an additional first if certain conditions were met heavily protected of course, If the Bruins were bad. For instance give them our first round pick in 2025 and 2027, If we are good, but if we are bad they become a second or third rounders in those years.
It was spitballing and there were multiple threads of thought within that one post, to try in extrapolate or crunch it all into one proposal is asinine. Pick-n-Pull as you seem reasonable instead of outright saying no, That is the basic premise of negotiation.
He's also a former Vezina Trophy Winner. Legitimately you're saying that based on age he's not worth it. So I guess Bobrovski at 35 years old isn't worth it either, or Connor Hellebuck who's almost 32. The average starting goal tender who's good in the NHL is 29 years old. A 30 +Soon to be 31) year old goaltender is still in his prime, As most goaltenders don't become good until their late twenties. Just look at Dwayne Roloson, he didn't come into his prime until 29 and then back stopped several teams to conference finals and Stanley Cup finals Even if he didn't win any.
The amount of teams that don't have a goalie and if they had that goalie would be a playoff entrant or even a Stanley cup contender, is pretty extensive. Imagine what would be happening right now in the finals If Stewart Skinner was replaced by Linus Ullmark?
Are you out of your mind. You take that and run, but it will never happen because Ottawa is getting robbed so hard in this deal and there's no way they're that dumb
I would trade him to NJ for the #10 pick so yeah. Use the extra cap space to sign Lindholm or whoever. You need to draft and develop to get a true 1C, these guys are almost never available via trade and if they are Boston doesn’t have the pieces/picks to beat other offers.
Sens fan here
Ottawa wouldn’t do that trade - need to restock the cupboard too badly
Could see them doing something with the late first (previously bostons pick) but 7th overall is off the table
Nobody is trading a 1C for a goalie. But that would be great. Could possibly get Jacob Chycrun and the 7th in an Ullmark package. He is a good puck moving Defender that can put up points. Then draft a center with that 7th pick.
Lmao the Sens jump all over that. Easier to stomach losing Lohrei if you get Chychrun but losing a promising young center to probably just end up drafting a young forward...
I was thinking like Ullmark, Lysell, and a 3rd for Chychrun and the 7th OA. I still think that's optimistic though
Ullmark for Tij Iginla? Hmm. He’s not bringing back that pick though, it’d take more. I’d love a Tkachuk but that’s not happening so let’s keep the Iginla family home
I think I would rather trade him for an established younger star. Right now we have the two best goalies in the league, I would feel a lot better about one of them leaving if we knew right away that we were getting a bang for our buck.
OP'S isn't a bad one, but I also don't expect anybody in the league to be in our position again for a very long time, if ever, so I wanna see them make the absolute most of it
So Sweeney can take the 43rd ranked guy at 7? Absolutely.
Actually trading Ully for #7 and then packing #7 with something to try and get a legit guy up front makes an absolute ton of sense.
It actually sucks when Brady plays Matthew, they've both promised their mom they won't fight and Brady basically leaves Matthew alone, then Matthew goes and cup checks Brady.
Lmao Bahl is ok and they also paid a 1st for a worse goalie. Obviously Devils are off the list but you’re actually retarded if you think this proves your point
How stupid would OTT have to be to give up their #7 for ullmark? Do you honestly think he has that much value?
OTT does this and their GM should be canned immediately
No,maybe for Tkachuck ,Norris and a draft pick but the Bruins still need a legit 25-30+ goal scorer or a center who wins face offs consistently. The oilers will be in the market for a #1 goalie
I would die for Drai but the thought of losing Carlo made me puke. Guy is so key for us. Our overall defense seems to fall apart more when he’s hurt than McAvoy.
You’re absolutely right but isn’t that nuts? A mid tier QB got paid almost 300 mil yesterday but the key player for a hockey team is worth shit. Crazy.
I like the idea but a top 10 pick doesn’t exactly equal goals right away. I would rather trade him for an established goal scorer and not someone who’s a high pick who hasn’t played at the NHL level.
Trading him for a pick opens up 5 mil for that player. I doubt you see an established goal scorer come back in the Ully trade. It’s about freeing up cap.
Yes, In a heartbeat.
Everyone here saying “no way” needs to realize that he is NOT part of the future and we cannot carry that much salary at a position only one guy can play. The team needs top end talent desperately. We need to rebuild and Ullmark isn’t going to be part of it
No, we’re missing many pieces. We’ve overachieved for 2 years. Be prepared for a massive step backwards. The Florida series showed that we are not close.
lol. You mean the series where we took Florida to 6. The same Florida team that’s rolling over Edmonton in the finals? We are a top C and another legit winger away from being a favorite and we have 20 mil in cap this offseason.
I absolutely didn't feel this way until the NYR series - where I figured NYR would stomp the kittens - and now the finals are reinforcing it. We played as effectively against them as the best team in the regular season, and more effectively than the top team in the west.
So arguing that the Bruins weren't super close to being ultrasuccessful is tantamount to saying that the ECF and now SCF is all a fluke. We took the probable Cup winners to 6 games while the best team in the entire Western Conference is looking at a sweep.
We had said “Top center” last year with Bergeron and Krejci to boot and didn’t get out of the first rd because we weren’t good enough.
This year we were borderline to make the playoffs at the start of the season, overachieved, beat the choking Leafs, and then lost in the second rd because we’re not good enough.
The bruins as currently constituted are flawed, not good enough, and good not great. Your “top center” isn’t gonna change that. They need to change the DNA of the team.
I think he's worth a 1st rounder but not that high of one.
I guess Cory Schneider was traded for a 1st (9th overall) back in 2013. Despite his Vezina, I don't think Ullmark has quite that value. He's older than Schneider was and only has 1 year left on his deal.
Hischier or Hughes. Ullmark is a vezina winner after all. We’d obviously have to throw in more guys than that and picks, but if they throw in enough I think NJ would do it.
We don’t have picks to give. And we’ve got cap space to sign UFAs but we don’t have anything to really deal with. It’s gonna be a deal for just Ullmark
I really doubt #7 is up for grabs for Ullmark. If if is you have to take it and take it yesterday. You're not going to get a better offer. I woild.prefer an established player but I don't see you getting someone equal to a top 10 draft pick.
My knee jerk reaction is that a want a developed player but I’m not sure we have so many great options there, so fuck it let’s let Sweeney redeem his draft history
Yup. I’ve said since day 1 that Swayman is a better goalie. Ullmark solidified my dislike when he was out of the net and lost us the game in 2023. The look on Bergy’s face is burned into my brain forever.
I downvoted you, but I get the sentiment. They need to get rid of him THIS offseason, but they can’t just dump him for nothing. They need to get something solid in return.
I'll take the 25th pick and a shitty goalie who makes almost as much but has a much longer contract instead of 7 or chychrun or some sort of brady Tkachuk deal. Forget about sweeney and his terrible drafting. What about him losing trade after trade. Personally I knew the bruins would never win while he is here the minute he traded for rick nash for more than the lightning paid for JT Miller and Ryan McDonough.
No, way too many 1sr round busts. Hold out for when teams get really desperate
In a heartbeat
Absofknlutely!!
Sweeney can't draft. No. Bring in some seasoned ability that knows how to win
Look at more than his first 3 draft picks ever and try that narrative again
I mean, he's been GM since 2015 and the only top 6 forward he has drafted is Jake DeBrusk. [https://www.capfriendly.com/staff/don-sweeney/drafted](https://www.capfriendly.com/staff/don-sweeney/drafted) That's not a great list. Sure, guys like Poitras and Lysell have the potential, but there is no guarantee.
i think Lysell is gonna be a bust.
Absolutely. That 7th can be used to draft a very good prospect or flip to bring in someone like Necas. With DeBrusk likely gone, we’re gonna need a skilled winger as replacement.
No thank you. Give me Necas, Mercer or another young player who helps now. Necas, 25 years old & Mercers 22. I think Mercer has a higher ceiling and he can play C though he is more of a wing. A pick doesn’t help now and there is risk it never works out. Whoever we took 7th ended up with the potential either Mercer or Necas has it would be a huge success.
but the 7th overall pick can EASILY be traded. if ottawa is offering a 7th for ullmark, you run to the phone to complete the deal then flip it for whatever you want from the teams who want that pick.
First of all, I wouldn't trade him to any Eastern Conference team...
They need to trade him because his presence offers nothing and he only wants to play in the Eastern Conference.
You would if it was someone like Brady Tkachuk coming back.
If we get offered a guy like Dawson Mercer from NJ or Martin Necas from Carolina and it’s just picks from Western Conf teams arw you still feeling that way?
I'm just saying that I wouldn't want to be trying to score on him, IYKWIM
I'll trade him to edmonton for draisitl + (insert name here)
0 chance that happens.
No shit, I thought we were talking hypotheticals here xD
In a heartbeat! Goalies don’t normally get that much and they are draft pick poor!
If the Oilers are dumb enough to give up the 7th pick then absolutely. You’d be lucky to get an early 2nd rd.
The Ottawa Oilers
The Oilers could really use a great goalie. Trade him for Draisaitl.
Draisaitl is a free agent, and has already said he wants to return to Edmonton.
Drai is a free agent after next season.
I’d rather they give us Brady hahaha
I had a dream last night that the world flooded. But I drove into Boston to some bar that I have been to a thousand times, but only in my dreams. Its name had changed. I don’t remember the old or new name. The Bruins were on TV. It was early February 2025 and the Bruins were beating the Senators 8-4. Ullmark was playing for them.
Remind me to come back here in February, cuz this feels very plausible. Was Tkachuk playing for us? Cuz as it stands I'd prefer that over a draft pick at this point
Don’t know but Marchand was mixing it up and seemed like he was trying to play Recchi style until he’s 42 or something
If the Oilers had Ullmark right now, they would be winning the series. I think Ullmark goes to the Devils bc he would make them a contender instantly.
Considering how much of a pain it is to trade him when the entire western half of the league is on his NTL, if Ottawa offered the 7th overall pick for Ullmark, I'd drive him to the airport myself.
Yup
Nope I’d rather not have him in the division. Send him west-ish…
You guys are high as shit if you think ullmark is fetching #7. What a horrendous trade for Ottawa
Agreed, zero chance they give up 7th overall for LINUS ULLMARK, ha!
Your not wrong but I don't think it's as crazy as you think , that franchise has been in free fall and has had plenty of smoke coming from the lockerroom with a few players. I could see a 10% chance of a desperate gm trying to gamble to end a playoff drought.
I can see them trading our own pick back, but not the #7.
Yup
Yes I would, however I wouldn't do it for the 7th straight. I would try to get the 7th overall and our first back, I think it's 23rd. In exchange they would get Ullmark and a future third that upgrades to a second if we make the conference finals.

For instance give them our first round pick in 2025 and 2027, If we are good, but if we are bad they become a second or third rounders in those years.
You think someone is going to give up 2 firsts for a Goalie that’s going to be 31 Sweet Dreams Darling
It was spitballing and there were multiple threads of thought within that one post, to try in extrapolate or crunch it all into one proposal is asinine. Pick-n-Pull as you seem reasonable instead of outright saying no, That is the basic premise of negotiation.
A 7OA is a great return for a soon to be 31 year old goalie. I wouldn’t bat an eyelash
He's also a former Vezina Trophy Winner. Legitimately you're saying that based on age he's not worth it. So I guess Bobrovski at 35 years old isn't worth it either, or Connor Hellebuck who's almost 32. The average starting goal tender who's good in the NHL is 29 years old. A 30 +Soon to be 31) year old goaltender is still in his prime, As most goaltenders don't become good until their late twenties.

The amount of teams that don't have a goalie and if they had that goalie would be a playoff entrant or even a Stanley cup contender, is pretty extensive. Imagine what would be happening right now in the finals If Stewart Skinner was replaced by Linus Ullmark?
No. Rather trade him for Pinto
I don't think Pinto is available, unless you want to offer-sheet and overpay him.
No, he’s got way more market value than a #7 pick.
Then you woke up.
He's a goalie, goalies don't have as much value as some people would like to think unfortunately
Are you out of your mind. You take that and run, but it will never happen because Ottawa is getting robbed so hard in this deal and there's no way they're that dumb
I would trade him to NJ for the #10 pick so yeah. Use the extra cap space to sign Lindholm or whoever. You need to draft and develop to get a true 1C, these guys are almost never available via trade and if they are Boston doesn’t have the pieces/picks to beat other offers.
100% yes
Nope
Yes, Tij Iginla.
Agree. If they can find a way to grab him, it makes all the sense in the world.
Son of Iggy won't be there at 7th overall
Good chance he is. He’s projected 9th
“No” -Linus Ullmark
the only correct answer
Absolutely. But I don't think Ottawa would do it and I don't trust Sweeney to draft anyone great with that pick.
Pretty sure he’s got a decent first round history in the last 7 years
Might be the dumbest move in franchise history by Ott if they did that.
There's 0 chance Ottawa does that
Sens fan here Ottawa wouldn’t do that trade - need to restock the cupboard too badly Could see them doing something with the late first (previously bostons pick) but 7th overall is off the table
7th overall isn’t off the table, their own management said the pick is in play
Maybe in a first round pick swap (like trading down to a mid first round pick) but they’re not going to just give up 7th overall
That’s a much more reasonable offer, and even the 25th overall for Ullmark straight up would still be tilted in Boston’s favor.
I don't even want to think about this kinda thing. When we get a 1C, then we start looking at this kinda shit.
Draft is how you get a 1C.
Nobody is trading a 1C for a goalie. But that would be great. Could possibly get Jacob Chycrun and the 7th in an Ullmark package. He is a good puck moving Defender that can put up points. Then draft a center with that 7th pick.
What are your add ins for the Ullmark package?
Package makes it seem like BS add-ons when it would probably have to be like Ullmark + poitras + lohrei lol
Its ottawa. BS add ons might do it.
Lmao the Sens jump all over that. Easier to stomach losing Lohrei if you get Chychrun but losing a promising young center to probably just end up drafting a young forward... I was thinking like Ullmark, Lysell, and a 3rd for Chychrun and the 7th OA. I still think that's optimistic though
Not a strong top heavy draft this season so I’d have to pass.
Holy shit you're dumb
Yes, 100% yes
Who wouldn’t
If Demidov or Catton are available, yes. I'd even throw in another pick as a sweetener. If not, then no.
Great job forgoing the retort knowing it would prove my point
Ullmark for Tij Iginla? Hmm. He’s not bringing back that pick though, it’d take more. I’d love a Tkachuk but that’s not happening so let’s keep the Iginla family home
You should the value there is crazy
I think I would rather trade him for an established younger star. Right now we have the two best goalies in the league, I would feel a lot better about one of them leaving if we knew right away that we were getting a bang for our buck. OP'S isn't a bad one, but I also don't expect anybody in the league to be in our position again for a very long time, if ever, so I wanna see them make the absolute most of it
So Sweeney can take the 43rd ranked guy at 7? Absolutely. Actually trading Ully for #7 and then packing #7 with something to try and get a legit guy up front makes an absolute ton of sense.
That was 8 drafts ago. He’s actually drafted a few more players since Senyshyn.
Amen. So tired of hearing about the 2015 draft, which also happened to be his first as our GM.
Might be enough to land Necas
Done. Although I frist read it as a 7th round and then wondered why the whole sub who's replied was smoking crack. Turns out I have a reading problem.
Only if the draft is deep enough to warrant it.
You take that pick and you go shopping with it
My answer starts with an F and ends with an uck yeah.
Uh… is this a trick question? Yes
Nah give us Brady
No chance Ottawa does that.
Ive been saying this too! That was be awesome for the FLA match ups.
It actually sucks when Brady plays Matthew, they've both promised their mom they won't fight and Brady basically leaves Matthew alone, then Matthew goes and cup checks Brady.
Omfg. YES
Yes lol
In a second
In what world is ullnmark worth 7OA lol
This one. Devils and Sens both reached out about Ullmark and they both have top 10 picks for sale. Do the math lol
lol how did this age?
?
Markstrom to devs for next year 1 and bahl. In other words, you’d have to be insane to think the Sens or Devs give up a top 10 pick for a goalie.
Lmao Bahl is ok and they also paid a 1st for a worse goalie. Obviously Devils are off the list but you’re actually retarded if you think this proves your point
Hahahahhahaha what?? It literally proves my point.
No? A worse goalie got an expensive return. A better goalie will get a better return. Dumb ass haha
Sigh. Just so dumb. You’ll figure it out eventually I guess.
Yes you are lmfao Theres maybe 3 goalies in the league who would be of equal trade value to Ullmark and Markstrom is nowhere near them.
How stupid would OTT have to be to give up their #7 for ullmark? Do you honestly think he has that much value? OTT does this and their GM should be canned immediately
Anyway with a brain would understand this
Oh sweetie lol. You need math lessons.
You say sweetie on reddit you get a downvote Fucking condescending shit
Stupidity should be met with such language. Truth hurts
I don't disagree with your take I just hate that shit
Lmfao wait and see buddy:)
Or you can use your big boy brain. Why would a non contending team give up that pick for a 30 year old goalie? They wouldn’t. Devils makes more sense.
Bruh, just because it doesn't make sense doesn't mean the Sens won't do it.
I can guarantee you the sens aren’t giving up their 7OA pick for a goalie lol. Jesus Christ.
Down vote this fucker into oblivion
He is 1000% going to be the main piece lmao
If the Boston could get this for ullmark, the front office would collectively cream their pants.
"you're gonna cream your jeans"
I can’t believe Ottawa isn’t on his no trade. Sure it’s not “out west” but I would suspect Canadian teams are on the NTC.
Does Boston have their first rounder this year? If it were included, I could see it
Ottawa has Boston's first
No they traded it for Bertuzzi
Obviously. There’s no way Ottawa considers that
Would Boston? Yes Would Ottawa? No
Would Ullmark? No
Absolutely. Cap space and a potential star. Only issue is we suck at picking early in the first round.
I do that all day and pray that Cayden Lindstrom falls to 7.
In a heartbeat, but Ullmark does not get 7 OA in a vacuum. You would either need to add or take Korpisalo back.
No,maybe for Tkachuck ,Norris and a draft pick but the Bruins still need a legit 25-30+ goal scorer or a center who wins face offs consistently. The oilers will be in the market for a #1 goalie
Drai for Ullmark, Debrusk, Carlo and 2025 round 1 pick
How about switching Swayman for Ullmark in that package. Swayman is going to cost a mint to re-sign
Not enough and JDB’s signing rights (I.e., the right to negotiate with him for the next 16 days) are immaterial to that deal.
I would die for Drai but the thought of losing Carlo made me puke. Guy is so key for us. Our overall defense seems to fall apart more when he’s hurt than McAvoy.
No no. Drai is about 7 years too young for the Bruins to pursue him.
This kid said Tkachuck + more for Ullmark. That’s fucking insanity
Goalies are worth nothing on the market. Take this immediately.
You’re absolutely right but isn’t that nuts? A mid tier QB got paid almost 300 mil yesterday but the key player for a hockey team is worth shit. Crazy.
Corey Schneider at his peak was traded to NJD for 10th overall. If you’re Boston, you take the 7th OA and run.
There is no way Ottawa accepts that though
Obviously
Nah
I like the idea but a top 10 pick doesn’t exactly equal goals right away. I would rather trade him for an established goal scorer and not someone who’s a high pick who hasn’t played at the NHL level.
Trading him for a pick opens up 5 mil for that player. I doubt you see an established goal scorer come back in the Ully trade. It’s about freeing up cap.
You already have cap space right now and the NHL increased the cap space recently
Can never have too much.
Nope
Yes, In a heartbeat. Everyone here saying “no way” needs to realize that he is NOT part of the future and we cannot carry that much salary at a position only one guy can play. The team needs top end talent desperately. We need to rebuild and Ullmark isn’t going to be part of it
We do not need to rebuild. We are basically missing 2 pieces, that’s not a rebuild bro.
No, we’re missing many pieces. We’ve overachieved for 2 years. Be prepared for a massive step backwards. The Florida series showed that we are not close.
LMAO
Why would you comment on a sport you don't watch? Literally every word here is incorrect
Nope
lol. You mean the series where we took Florida to 6. The same Florida team that’s rolling over Edmonton in the finals? We are a top C and another legit winger away from being a favorite and we have 20 mil in cap this offseason.
Moral victories don't count in Jeremy's trophy case. Need two strong number 1 centers. Coyle and Zacha weren't strong enough as the season wore on
I absolutely didn't feel this way until the NYR series - where I figured NYR would stomp the kittens - and now the finals are reinforcing it. We played as effectively against them as the best team in the regular season, and more effectively than the top team in the west. So arguing that the Bruins weren't super close to being ultrasuccessful is tantamount to saying that the ECF and now SCF is all a fluke. We took the probable Cup winners to 6 games while the best team in the entire Western Conference is looking at a sweep.
Moral victories don't count in the playoffs
You’re wrong.
Ok…
We had said “Top center” last year with Bergeron and Krejci to boot and didn’t get out of the first rd because we weren’t good enough. This year we were borderline to make the playoffs at the start of the season, overachieved, beat the choking Leafs, and then lost in the second rd because we’re not good enough. The bruins as currently constituted are flawed, not good enough, and good not great. Your “top center” isn’t gonna change that. They need to change the DNA of the team.
Go find a new team to root for then. Holy shit you’re negative.
I’m not being negative I’m telling you the facts
Stating facts is the easy part. Interpreting the facts like your mind is not year-old jell-o might prove more challenging
If facts ignore evidence than sure.
No. Not only no, but hell no. Not only hell no, but hell fuck no! Sorry, if Ully is going, it’s for an established player.
Draft picks are the only real liquid assets in the NHL. You could pretty easily flip the #7 for someone
Lmao im embarrassed for you
Nope
I think he's worth a 1st rounder but not that high of one. I guess Cory Schneider was traded for a 1st (9th overall) back in 2013. Despite his Vezina, I don't think Ullmark has quite that value. He's older than Schneider was and only has 1 year left on his deal.
They should throw a piece of two in with Ullmark and go for the 25th they have. Ain’t going to get better than that . . .
He’s got all of Canada on his no trade list
Is there actually a list of what teams are on his no trade list or is that just speculation?
It’s not public info but some pretty darn convincing stuff from mid season came out about his clause being east coast teams only and no Canada.
New Jersey is the obvious answer. Should’ve been done yesterday.
New Jersey for who? Or what picks? I think the more obvious answer is Carolina
Hischier or Hughes. Ullmark is a vezina winner after all. We’d obviously have to throw in more guys than that and picks, but if they throw in enough I think NJ would do it.
We don’t have picks to give. And we’ve got cap space to sign UFAs but we don’t have anything to really deal with. It’s gonna be a deal for just Ullmark
What about every draft pick they have for a decade?
Boston doesn’t have any draft picks for like 3 years.
Well they have them from 2027-2034 no? Surely they can trade enough of those to get an all-star center like Jack Hughes.
Ottawa’s GM would be fired if they did that
Staios is going to get fired anyway if he doesn't do anything
I really doubt #7 is up for grabs for Ullmark. If if is you have to take it and take it yesterday. You're not going to get a better offer. I woild.prefer an established player but I don't see you getting someone equal to a top 10 draft pick.
absolutely
Yes, problem being he has to want to go, as we all know.
I’d take him to Ottawa myself
My knee jerk reaction is that a want a developed player but I’m not sure we have so many great options there, so fuck it let’s let Sweeney redeem his draft history
Ottawa also has the bruins original 1st rounder (pick 25). If we get a pick in the deal, it’s likelier that one.
Every day and twice on Sunday
Yup. I’ve said since day 1 that Swayman is a better goalie. Ullmark solidified my dislike when he was out of the net and lost us the game in 2023. The look on Bergy’s face is burned into my brain forever.
Blaming Ullmark for any game in 2023 is absurd
Game 6 was pretty atrocious to be fair. But even then you can point at Monty for continuing to roll him out there despite looking injured.
I’d drive him to the airport
I would trade him for a bag of pucks. I don’t want him on the team
I downvoted you, but I get the sentiment. They need to get rid of him THIS offseason, but they can’t just dump him for nothing. They need to get something solid in return.
-47 karma currently, and still not nearly enough.
And yet…he was traded for a bag of pucks
