- The Boston Bruins made a big trade right before game 7, trading goalie Linus Ullmark, and we almost forgot about it in the after glow of seeing the Panthers raise the cup! That and more in today's NHL hockey video!
This video could be about 3 different trades
dude we have the same pfp. I thought I commented on this vid
What's the other trade that was bad
@@heresJohnny73 Jake Walman AND a 2nd round pick for future considerations :)
@@Ziqht o I'm aware of that one but they said 3 trades
@@heresJohnny73 Dubois for kuemper
Knowing how the Bruins karma works, Ullmark is gonna regress back to his Sabres form in Ottawa, Korpisalo is gonna regain his Columbus all-star form, and the 25th pick will turn into the next franchise cornerstone.
Also Sens bad luck working hard here alongside Boston's endless good fortune
Ullmark can blame himself because he agreed to it. He didn’t want to go to a good team in LA so they sent him to the senators a horrible team and he was okay with it
Don't forget the Ullmark is the ONLY Bruin's goalie to ever score a goal
Detroit Tirewheels. Priceless.
Button's sockless look is just nauseating.
People acting like Ullmark was a product of Boston's system is hilarious considering he had averaged .912 in fucking Buffalo
Ok and UPL has a .910 in his first season as a full time starter....
My fave Ullmark stat comes from his last season in Buffalo:
Ullmark W/L: 9-9
Everyone other Sabres goalie: 6-32
Boston definitely traded the wrong goalie in this one. Selling low on Ullmark who's an experienced starter vs. selling high on Swayman whose role for years has been a backup, it just seems foolish to me.
@@brianlb78 the sabres were MUCH worse when ullmark was there
@brianlb78 what's YOUR point? 😂😂😂😂
Ullmark deserves to be a number 1 goaltender somewhere and I think bruins made it clear swayman is their number 1 man… plus he is 5 years younger than ullmark I believe so I can see them trying to make him stick around for a very long time. Gonna miss them together though.
Yep. This is why he’s being traded. Not cause they want to trade him for korpisallo, but because it’s fucked up to make two starter quality goalies play backup for no good reason. Better to have that cap space and let ulmark go somewhere he can be that number 1 guy. Senators are a good fit for him, and they desperately need players that have a name behind them instead of garbage can Brady tkachuck who’s only captain because his brother is who he is.
@@SouthboundpachydermBrady Tkachuk is a fine captain, it’s just that his team is always ass when they should be good and he feels he’s the only one who can really start a fire for his team. He’s kinda gotten the short end of the stick
And for Boston they moved him to a team that’s not going to be scary with him, like imagine if they sent him to the leafs or wings or Avs
@@crash96box37 none of those teams could afford him.
Ullmark never was a forever solution, he was a temporary bring in when Rask was on the brink of leaving due to injury forever and they needed a buffer between sways man and full time being ready. They feel Sway id finally ready to take the net. They’re right and sway is much better than ullmark
Him and Swayman both are gonna be sad lol. Will miss the bearhugs
I feel like Korps gets a bad rap. When he was backing up Bobs in Columbus I thought he was quality. I’d like to see how another goalie would do in the spots he was in, in Columbus, LA and Ottawa
He's had a few good years, and was solid in 22/23 in CBJ and LA. Just had a reallll bad year last year on a bad team. He can figure it out
He was pretty solid under Tortorella. Merzlikins had slightly better stats because Korpisalo was the #1 and got the harder matchups.
What’s ignored is that Ullmark had a no trade clause and was shooting down agreed upon deals ahead of a contract year. Swayman will get extended so Ullmark needed to be moved, the goalie tandem was untenable if you wanted to sign Swayman and Ottawa was evidently not a problem for him. And let’s be honest, the Sens are not scaring anyone right now whether they sign Ullmark to an extension or not
I think it was a modified where most west coast team trades he would need to bless, but most east coast teams then likely would be fine.
Ottawa wasn't on his no trade list - he confirmed it the other day during a media availability.
@@twinlamp beautiful. So it worked out for everybody. At the end of the day, the Bruins will resign Swayman and they couldn’t afford to keep this tandem together. If the Bruins somehow don’t resign Swayman after this trade, as a Bruins fan, then I’ll revisit this and criticize this trade as malpractice
If it was about money, why the hell did they pick up a goalie who is only 1 million less than ullmark while being drastically worse than him?
League average goaltending last year and the Sens would have been in the playoffs. Not saying they were going to go far but at least get in and see what happens.
Finally Korpisalo has a team that can defend in front of him. CJB&OTT weren't the greatest defensive teams. In the LAK he did fine.
CJB IT IS CBJ DUMMY HAHAHAHAHA😂😂😂
Definitely should be a good backup to take weight off Swayman.
.891 save percentage is aweful and that's on him not the team
Kings' system generally sucks or else he would have done even better there. Korpisalo's ceiling is heavily underrated by most.
Korpisalo has been mediocre and inconsistent his entire career.
The trade wasn't bad at all when you look that Ullmark had a NTC so he controlled that and he only has 1 year left on his deal. No team is going to give up a lot for a 1 year player. The reason why NJ got a better deal for Markstrom despite him being older and not as good as Ullmark is because Markstrom has 2 years left on his deal. Term means everything when trying to acquire a player. So you call it a horrible trade but you don't take everything into consideration, sure you mentioned it but you still said it was a horrible trade. What if they didn't trade him at all and let him go for nothing? That would be horrible. And it's not like he has lit it up in the playoffs anyway so big deal they traded away a good regular season goalie.
Linus is a fucking rental and will demand big money. Also has a 10 teams NMC and is almost untradeable due to both reasons. Even as a Vezina winner.
Exactly at least someone gets it. First you have to have a trade partner, 2nd it has to be a partner he will go to, and third he only has 1 year left. What exactly did they expect for that. Most start rentals are worth a 1st and that's about it.
His media availability today would say different. Sounds super happy to be in Ottawa and Alfie is the one that talked him into coming. Not to mention sens paid a rental price and still dumped Korpi.
If they can’t sign him not the end of the world, korpisalo contract is gone and they can circle back on it next summer. I think they’ll get something done with him though. If they can fix the defence this team could be good
@@l.a.w.5738 The Sens have the space to offer him big money though
Bertuzzi looks like he smells like Kid Rock
I disagree (respectfully), Ullmark is 31 and won't be signing an extension, for what they got it's a pretty decent haul. They're gonna need to pay Swaymiester probably 7(ish)m? Korpi will be fine, put a good defense in front of him and he does fine.
I don't know why everyone thinks the bruins have elite defense. Did you watch them this year? They were constantly outplayed and getting bailed out by their goalies. Ullmark and Swayman stole them games all year, not their defense. Statistically, Boston and Ottawa are not that far in rankings either, the major difference is goaltending
@@mike1134 It's not so much that they have elite defense, it's that OTA was really, really bad.
@@mike1134What have you been smoking? Ottawa and Boston aren't that different statistically?!?! Hmm, let's see…
The top seven teams in the league were separated by 5 points in total. Ottawa finished 31, yes 31 points behind Boston. Ottawa was closer to being the worst team in the nhl than they were to being better than Boston, STATISTICALLY speaking.
@@mike1134our defense in the playoffs was godforsaken atrocious. I think Mcavoy and Lindholm lead the entire league in turnovers and giveaways and mcavoys generally lead to scoring chances against. Gryz and Forbort should have been shipped last year imo. Never healthy.
@@mike1134thate not even close to what i saw from them. Bruins defense looked elite to me, and goaliesboth with similar number because it had almost nothing to do with them at all. U sir, are incredibly clueless
Detroit tirebirds?
Not sure what he meant by that. If it was a joke it fell flat
@@LionsFever Well the red wings logo is a tire that has wings, so maybe it's a joke regarding that. Also because Firebirds is a common name for a minor league hockey team so it's a bit of wordplay I assume
I’m gonna miss goalie hugs :(
All of the goalies looked bad in Ottowa last year. It was a rough year all around. Korpisalo is a good tender. He was good in Lumbus and LA.
Learn how to spell.
They paid the goaltender Billy g didn’t want. Everyone loves Minnesota goaltenders bunch of garbage men
I wouldn’t say good necessarily but he was much better than his tenure in Ottawa
Ur a goof bud. Ullmark is essentially a rental. Generally a team won't give up much for someone who has less than a year on his contract.
as a sens fan i Love this trade gets a bad contract off the books and a great goalie for a late first and a 4 line player. You make that deal every time
Yeah... it's like, why not just keep Ullmark until the deadline?
I believe Swayman is about to get a pay bump anyway, so cap issues, plus it why not get something in the trade even if it is just a relatively crappy first round draft pick
@@BloodRider1914 Boston have something like 22-25m spare cap coming into the offseason, they literally saved $1m of that in this deal lmao. It's hilariously bad.
@BloodRider1914 Agreed on cap issues but they hardly saved anything
Because then you have to trade him to a contender for likely an even worse return. Ottawa sucks and ullmark can’t change that which is why they traded him there
Because teams will have already fixed their goaltending by then and may not get as good of an offer.
This saved the Sens from buying out Korpi and they get last year's Vezina trophy winner in return for at least one year. Even with the 25% retained ($1M x 4years), Kasti and the 25th gone, the Sens got exactly what they wanted. I hope Linus signs a 4-6 year deal, but even if he walks, they will be ahead in my opinion. He said he's already spoken with Alfie, so hopefully that can help make him feel at home. Ottawa's a great city with a passionate, knowledgeable fanbase. Great channel Eck, cheers!
Would have traded the 25th pick and Kastelic just to get rid of Korpi.
Ottawa and the Canucks are going to have identical seasons. You heard it here first.
I sure hope both have good seasons then!
Hopefully Canucks pull a devils and miss the playoffs and then the Sens make it into the 2nd round
Both in the basement?
both basement dwellers
@@Vetiun nah bubble dwellers. They will be on the staircase I think 😂
It’s crazy how people have forgotten how good Korpisalo was when he had a defense in front of him. 7 playoff overtimes? Hello?? Ottowa can’t defend. Boston can. Korpisalo is gonna rebound because that’s what Boston does
Oh CANADA!!!!!
brandon bussy is a CRAZY name
There was no market beyond Ottawa. Bruins played themselves. No way could they go into next year with $14m commitment to the goalies
The Bruins system makes goalies better. Yes ullmark is a great get for Ottawa, but Boston doesn't get hurt by this trade.
I hope when the 25th pick comes up on the screen it shows "Boston -> Detroit -> Ottawa -> Boston" because I just think that'd be amusing
As a Sens fan, I'm not going to be over confident and make any bold predictions but Ullmark showed he could play well behind a terrible team in Buffalo, Ottawa had a good record last year when they had competent goaltending, but most nights they had the worst goaltending in the league, by a large margin. Ottawa's D has been suspect for quite some time, but a lot of the brutal goals Korpisalo let in last year were on him
I raise you a Devils goaltending
This is the bs that the bruins do all the time
Sweeney is atrocious
@@Jackson54321 Sweeney should wear a clown costume on a permanent basis
@@lordrevanz16 he should be out of a job. Teams can have no firsts and seconds but atleast their teams are successful, these bruins teams the past 5 years have been nothing short of disappointing
What do you think the Bruins could get for him? They got a forward that could be as effective as Shawn Thornton was, they got a goalie that's capable of good numbers And will probably do really well with a shared workload And a healthy season. They got their 1st round pick back and lowered their salaries.
Your take is garbage.
You just wanted something to bitch about.
As a Wings fan, I'm not sure how I feel about the "Tire Birds". Kinda cool. Kinda funny. The Tire Birds playing a home game at Little Ceasars Pizza Palace has a ring to it 😅
A minor aspect of Ullmark coming to Ottawa which I really like as a Sens fan is that his new backup here, Anton Forsberg, is an old friend and teammate from Sweden. Now if the team can get some more solid defense in front of him then Ullmark might just be comfy enough to re-sign. If not, I wouldn't blame him for looking at this trade as a rental. Also for the love of all that is hockey let someone direct him and his family west of Ottawa maybe as far as the Calabogie area, if they set up in the city and have to deal with everyday Ottawa people nonsense he's going to leave for sure.
Someone get him in touch with Alfie. Couldnt hurt.
@@slickmechanical They're already talking
Imagine being so snobby that you failed to recognize ullmark wanted to be a starter and have ice time. Typical selfish rangers fan
As a Bruins fan I am sad to see Ullmark leaving Boston! Him and Sway were THE best duo in nhl and the energy they were bringing was just unbeliveable. Wish him the best of luck in Ottawa(My second team since im from Quebec Canada)
"This trade was ass"
Everyone: do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it doen?
If the Sens don't make the playoffs and Ullmark walks in free agency then i think both teams end up losers.
Ullmark should put the Sens in a better position to compete for a playoff spot, but won't get them there by himself - it's a great first step to trying to be competitive next season but I don't think anyone in Ottawa thinks the roster moves are close to done. More is needed to revamp that roster but if they make a few more good moves they could definitely be in the mix
the question is, what RFA are the buins targeting that they needed their 1st rounder from this year back.
As a bruins fan.. on paper. I was a little taken back as to the “return value”. Maybe they have a solid prospect in mind at 25 that fits a role we need? Maybe they package Korpi with the pick and someone else to get a return worth having. Anyone else feel fleeced in Boston? 😆 the man won the Vezna the prior year and would have been a major upgrade to many teams across the board and we went with this? I currently have COVID, is my wet brain fahking missing something?
Bruins probably would have gone deeper in last year's playoffs if Ullmark hadn't turned the puck over late in gm 5, which forced OT and extended the series. Good riddance.
Gonna really miss the Swayman Ullmark goalie hug!
Why ass? Linus had one year left. There was not much to gain for him at that point.
It's not that bad of a deal. ;)
still dont understand why thay wanted to trade him in the first place. He did have a little bit of a down period, but it just felt like thay never gave him a real chance to come back. Sway was always the second goalie in my eyes, which makes it so strange that thay did not even flinch about trading Ullmark. Yes swayman is amazing! But it would be like the rangers trading Igor cuz Quick is playing amazing.
Your are insanely clueless. Swayman was better all season, is the clear starter as evidenced by the playoffs... you definitely proved u have no clue at all
I think it all came down to $$$.
I don't see it as bad as you do for the Bruins. That comment on that pick being theirs initially... you could also see it as renting Bertuzzi only cost them a 2025 4th rd pick in the end. That's very good asset management.
Plus they don't have to look for a backup goalie while Bussi finishes honing his skills, Korpisalo ain't as bad as Ottawa's defense made him look, costs them much less than Ullmark, and Kastelic is exactly the type of strong bottom 6 forward they love to mold to their system.
you are wrong. the 25 pick was the Bs to begin with so for arguments sake, just forget about the 25 pick for bertuzzi. the Bs had him for one month only, so he never really was a likely guy to stay. that's why the red wings traded him. he wanted to be a free agent and don sweeney doesn't pay for free agents. he gives up all the draft picks, but then won't pay them to keep them. say that trade never happened. what you have left is ullmark, a recent vezina winner for korpisalo and kastelic. if the rangers gave up shesterkin for a bottom six forward and a questionable goalie, everyone in boston would be laughing. yes, i know you are going to say, " but, the Bs got a 25 pick also. " but, if you look at this as a two year sequence of offsetting trades for don sweeney, what sweeney got was one month of bertuzzi, korpisalo, and kastelic for ullmark.
Ullmark in the plofs.. 💩
A lot overhype him
LOL. All the comments saying the Bruins are gonna rebuild. The Bruins have legit never rebuilt in the expansion era. They haven't missed the playoffs more than 2 years in a row since 1967. A lot of mediocre teams with first round exits but that's fine with Jacobs.
Boston actually did good here. Korpisalo will thrive in Boston
Is Future Considerations on the move again?
The Bruins cleared cap space and got into the first round, for 1 year of Ullmark's services as goalie 1A. You're wrong.
Man I could not agree more. What ever… Ottawa got a great deal in my book.
Ur smokin something bud
@@CharlesBlair573 always
I really do think this is one that will look better for all parties in hindsight. I think Korpy at that cap hit, as a back-up, on a more defensively responsible team will be solid. The first is always good and Kastelic was born to be a Bruin. Like with Buffalo, Ullmark will show he's good even on a bad team, netting Ullmark more money on his next contract than he woulda gotten as Swayman's 1b. And Ottawa gets good goaltending for the first time in forever and the chance to offer him the 8 year contract other teams can't offer or get some assets back at the deadline if they don't perform in front of Ullmark. It will be a win-win-win.
im gonna miss him he will always be a bruin in my heart
Uhm goalie never get you a good haul.
Korpi def costed a few games just letting weak goals in on the first 5 shots in 5mins a lot this year. Shots outside the hashmark that looked more like a dump in shot than an actual shot. Uncommon sens W and im pumped for the year esp if we can find another solid D man
This f*cked with a dash of something else but bussi is a damn decent tender . Friggin , gonna miss those damn winning hugs and shite
i dont get korpisalo hate
Bro went from Boston’s Defence to Ottawa’s Defence
Just because Sens somehow manage ways to not get better. I'd expect Ullmark to be just average and Korpisalo having best season he has ever had.
Ottawa is where goalies go to kill their careers and lower their overall trade value. Then they go to other teams on budget contracts and have success
Korpisalo was the worst goaltender in the league last year, if ullmark is average that is a great success for us. If korpisalo plays 10-20 games he might succeed
I'm betting that the bruins are gonna try to trade korpisalo before the start of the season so they can put Bussi in net instead
I live in Boston and the market here is fine with the trade, Joonas is gonna packaged and go somewhere else or stached in Providence. This was all about giving Swayman a long term deal and making Ulmark happy.
Im just grateful this was not about the Jake Walman trade
1) A goalie had to go. Saying that, it makes the Bertuzzi trade look like a 4 month free rental which a) SHOULD'VE allowed us to get past the Panthers in Round 1, and b) SHOULD'VE allowed us to resign Bertuzzi.
That being said, my biggest gripe is our goalie room now potentially costing $10+ million instead of $8 million.
I saw Bertuzzi in thumbnail and thought “interesting” oh, Ullmark. Yes. Hate that he’s gone. No more goaliehug. Hate that we got two players for him when we are trying to free up capspace. I wanted Ullmark to stay, I do.
I do not believe Sens go into playoffs. I’d love to see it though because I think the Sens are funny. One of 2 teams in Canada, I cheer for, for the meme of it. The other being the Nucks.
I like this trade for the Bruins. Having Swayman/Ullmark was a huge luxury for sure but Swayman/Korpisalo is still kinda insane. Getting a decent replacement for Ullmark while also getting a first round pick and a prospect out of it is a win. Whether it's originally Boston's own pick or not makes no difference, a pick is a pick.
I have no idea what Boston did there.
Korpisalo alone should cost the 1st rounder (a better 2nd rounder it is in fact on 25) to remove. Even at 3m, that`s just not a good contract, especially for a team that is tight with the cap. Coming out of a 89 SV% seasons with almost 3,3 gaa, even 3m for 4x more years is a lot of money.
Bruins have been a good place for goalies while Ottawa has been the exact opposite, so it might even work out.
But if you look at actual value, a team like Toronto should have paid their 1st without taking a bad contract back. I don`t think Korpisalo has any value, 3m is still a lot for a backup.
Ullmark was still the best goalie available, and he`s been a beast the season before.
Gotta disagree completely here - Boston still has an elite goaltender in Swayman, who's 5 years younger. Keeping 2 Vezina-level goalies on the roster would be any GMs dream, but it gets hard to afford in a salary-capped league. One of them had to go, and IMO Boston made the right decision on who to keep. Chances are Ullmark would be trying his hand on the UFA market after next year anyways, in which case Boston would be getting nothing. Ottawa is taking a big risk on that one themselves. To get a first round pick, a solid back-up goalie option and a potential fourth-line forward for only one guaranteed season out of Ullmark is a pretty great deal for Boston.
That the pick was originally Boston's has no weight in the quality of this trade. The original trade to lose the pick was bad, but the pick was gone. Before the trade they didn't have a first round pick, after the trade they do, that's all that counts.
Imagine you had a 5M forward and you traded him for 3M forward + a first round pick + a prospect. You'd say that they had a really good trade.
We, as fans, do not understand the goaltender market. Goaltenders are crucial, but teams do not value them. Why? Because we've had so many tragic tales from Cam Talbot to Carey Price to Jack Campbell to Matt Murray and on and on and on the list goes. This creates a massive downward pressure on the goaltender market. Goaltenders are crucial, highly volatile, and extremely difficult to replace and manage if things go poorly.
But we treat our starting goaltenders the way we treat our star players because they give us so much joy. The NHL GMs do not see it that way. They really haven't ever seen in that way. And so we are constantly amazed that goaltenders are fetching far less than we think they should be fetching. Just look at Markstrom the other day.
The trade is exactly what we should've expected Ullmark to fetch.
Watching this a few months down the line and I wonder if Swayman is holding out because of this. Him and Ullmark seemed to have an amazing relationship and Korpisalo comes across as incredibly cold and reclusive and someone working out some issues in his mechanics which is probably the last kind of character you want to replace that kind of relationship.
Kastelic is a solid 4th line option who brings grit and grind along with a ton of physicality, so a true 4th line player.
If I was New Jersey I would have gone with Ullmark not Markstrom. And that’s coming from a Canucks fan. Idk what the age difference is between the two but your getting like max maybe 3 good years out of Markstrom
We need cap space... Ullmark has no extension yet... that was the best Sweeney was able to get for... Korpi was probably force i that trade... Ullmark for the 25th... one for one would be perfect... but anyway its not like goalie market's insane these days...
This is the worst overpay ever, Ullmark isn't even better than Korpi, Korpi is a starter, Ullmark is a fringe strarter who can give you a few solid games a season. If I were to rearrange this trade, it would be Korpi, 7th round pick for Ullmark and a 4th round pick. Absolutely terrible trade.
Idk, I don’t really think it’s that bad for Boston, I think ottawas in worse shape, if anything BOTH teams lose this. (Don’t be fooled by my pfp I’m a devils fan, I’m not biased to the bruins)
I was hoping for more for Ullmark...but the Bruins are not known for being geniuses at the trade (sure, there are some goodies...but there have been LOTS of baddies!)
The Bruins hadn't had a 1st rounder in like 5-6 years. Couple this with Ullmark having a NMTC made it really difficult.
I don´t think korpisalo is a bad goalie. He´s just played in very bad teams most of his career. No goalie has been good in columbus or Ottawa these recent years. There´s a lot more he can bring into the table. Ullmark needed to go. No need for two great goalies while your offense is seriously lacking power. Time for a small rebuild for Boston. Couple new offensive players and they´re back in the cup hunt as always.
Sweeney speak about Bussi... hes probably gonna be our backup ... if he dont performs well in the beginning, we will have Korpi... let see how he perform with B's defense
The goalie market is brutal. Nobody is willing to trade the house for a goaltender. And then there’s the no trade clause to factor in. That limits the market and potential offers. At the end of the day, they needed to get something for the guy, and they’ve been trying for a while. You can only play one guy a night, and can’t be dumping a huge part of the salary on two starting goaltenders. The is issue here is that they didn’t do enough to clear salary cap space in the trade to address the OBVIOUS lack of talent/depth up the center of the ice. They better hope they make that #25 pick worth it, whether by trade or (for once) a good draft choice. That’s my say as a Bruins fan. Feel free to trash my opinion😂
They wanted a 1st round pick because the Bruins didn't have a pick until a forth round, and they can't afford to pay Swayman and keep Ullmark. Swayman is the main guy now.
Eck, are you serious, whats up with this rant man ?
Think about it, how could boston keep two #1 goalies going on their roster, unnmark proved himself last year, swayman this year. You have to make a trade to get something back. Unfortantly unnmark was out and swayman stayed. Its a good trade for ottawa. They just need to build a good around him
Bruins goalie coach is Bob Essensa. He is an absolute Magician with goalies. Korpisalo will rebound and be a very solid back up especially with the Bruins revampt D core.
Wallman trade was way worse. Gave up not only their second best defence men, but by far the red wings best cap steal for nothing. And paid them a draft pick to do it. You could’ve done that with holl or chariot but they chose wallman. What the hell is Yzerman thinking?
Sign a guy for free then trade him a couple years later for a backup, a depth guy, and a 1st round pick. I don't think Boston did very bad at all here unless I'm missing something
This sucks trading Ullmark to Ottawa. Swayman stole Ullmarks position and if he gets injured they will be screwed. So mad.
I mean... I don't wanna get too excited for the Sens considering the vast majority of people thought they'd be a playoff team this year and we all know how that went... Adding a legit Tender is always a big step though, so who knows.
Sounds like Ullmark was not happy in Beantown, and he wasn't used much in the playoffs... but the NHL is full of fishy business these days
he has a year left on his contract and the bruins are not going to resign him, because they can't afford to and they are clearly going with Swayman who started every playoff game. so in a year's time he was going to be worth zero to the bruins - If you don't believe me, look up what the flames got for Gaurdreau. getting cap space and a first rounder and a backup for Sway was about as good as they could do. asking, what are they going to do if something happens to Swayman is kind of dumb. you clearly haven't looked around the NHL because no team has a Vezina trophy winning goalie who is still in the peak of their career as a back up.
it's already been discussed that goalies aren't going for anything right now. Why did you not compare the trade for Markstrom with this? As per usual, garbage clickbait title
LOL you're overreacting. It's a player on an expiring contract that is 100% looking for a starting role. Chances are the kid has already made it clear that he will not be re-signing unless he is guaranteed the starting job. In which case getting a return for him at all is a win in of itself. As to why the bruins weren't able to get a higher return for him, it's cause they had no leverage. Most teams would be content to sit back and wait for the kid to hit free agency. No one was gonna offer anything crazy for an expiring contract on a goalie who is still unproven as a starter. Should really be happy that y'all managed to get anything in return at all.
As a Bruins fan I am unbelievably disappointment. Both for this absolutely atrocious giveaway of a Vezina winner for a bag of chips, and for the removal of the best and most fun to watch goalie tandem in the league
Maybe this is bold but i say next year Korpisalo will have better numbers than Ullmark. Goaltending is a team position and the Bruins make there goalies look like world-beaters with the Sens, well, not so much.
A goalie we don't need for money that was supposed to be spent elsewhere. A tough guy (OK he can win faceoffs) who will get one point every six games, and a first rounder that's too high. So where's the scorer we in Boston expected to get? Trust the draft? Trust Sweeney with that?
I think Boston are a bit shrewder than what might be initially thought here. They realize his value could go either way, but a pay rise is almost certain. If this is another Carey situation, they look like geniuses. We don't see all the behind the locker room talk, but I'm guessing there's some rebuilding, cap negotiating and some banking on prospects going on here.
Trying to force a 20 second TH-cam commercial on me was almost as bad as this video. Seriously you forcing the long advertisement is why you're gonna stay irrelevant
Eh, it's too soon to say if this was a$$ - we'll see what that pick becomes and how the Sens do this coming year which, TBH, there's nowhere to go but up...
Saying the trade is bad when the Bruins aren't gonna resign ullmark cause you're gonna be paying 2 goalies 6+ mill. The Bruins are just gonna be bad for the foreseeable future so why not get a 1st round pick for it. Cant say its bad asset management to get Bertuzzi for a 1st when you're going for the cup that year with the best team in hockey. ever. The trade isnt bad for either teams.
