Thread: (OTT/BOS) - Kastelic, Korpisalo, 2024 1st (BOS) for Ullmark
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Just getting rid of Korp at a retained 3m was worth for the Sens. Going to interesting how Ullmark does with middling to poor team. His next contract depends on him playing well this season. Doubt if he is being traded but he might be at TDL of the Sens (likely) are "out of it". Ullmark has been poor in his last two playoff seasons, he would like a chance of at redemption.</div></div>

I'd put money on Ullmark going into next season with a long term extension.

Ottawa notoriously underperformed this year largely due to the worst goaltending in the league. New coach, new GM, new direction for roster building. OTT is gonna push for a playoff spot next year.

Thread: A realistic trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hobo</b></div><div>McDavid usually outplays Draisaitl, doesn't mean Leon has no value does it?</div></div>

Not really comparing the same things here... Ullmark has always been part of a tandem, never the clear #1 guy, in a sport where you can only have 1 player of the position on the ice at a time.

So yes the fact that Ullmark got outplayed scares me. Do we really think he's going to go to a worse team defensively and all of a sudden just be a saviour? He's gonna get more shots and less support. He wasn't at his best in the playoffs and given his age and contract status, that should scare you if you're looking at trading for him.


<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rhea</b></div><div>Yep. I gave up as soon as a I saw Shawn Simpson's name too but I agree 100% with you.</div></div>

Shawn Simpson definitely has some connections. But what he said really doesn't need connections. It's very clear that the Sens arent gonna be willing to pay the price the Bruins asked for, if they were the deal would be done already.

The reality is the market is shrinking on Ullmark, and he has a M-NTC. He's already botched at least one deal too. If, as it seems, the market is down to just Ottawa then the Bruins will realize they need that cap space to improve their team and the price will come down.
