Do you think the Bruins had a choice when it came to trading Linus Ullmark?
People say they traded ullmark for cap space, but then picked up kopisoli for almost the same price.
I understand the ullmark is on the final year of his contract and Boston wasn’t going to keep him, and they wanted to get a good return.
Swayman is the future of the bruins goaltending wise.
I wish they would have worked a better deal, but i believe sweeny wanted that higher pick.
I think Sweeney's mismanagement has brought us to where we are today. The trade return for Ullmark was pitiful. Korpasalo never should have been a part of the deal. From past dealings with Swayman, they had to have known he was going to be looking for a pay day. I think I probably said this before, I would have traded Swayman. In a Swayman trade the Bruins would have received a much bigger bounty or players and picks. Not that would know what to do with draft pick, the way he has squandered them in the past. But here is the real truth about the goaltender situation. Ullmark is not going to be the Vezna Trophy in Ottawa. The Bruins defense scheme makes the goaltender look a lot better than they actually are. This has been the Bruins hallmark for at least 20 years. The Marchand and Bergeron line was never supposed to be a scoring line. Their main job for the last 12 years was to shutdown the opposing teams top line. That's how special that line was and for many years led the team in scoring. I am getting sidetracked, but thats the style of the Bruins, defense first, what ever it takes, and that helps the goaltending immensely. On another note, letting Debrusk walk and not getting anything in return, is another blunder by Sweeney. He should have been traded at the trade deadline to get something in return.
I didn't consider or even realize Ullmark could modify his no trade list on July 1st, so it makes sense why time was of the essence for Sweeney and the B's desperately wanted/needed a 1st round pick in the draft with the huge holes Bergeron/Krejci left and a rather dismal prospect pool. I was just expecting to be the Sens 7th pick instead of 25th, but I guess the fact Ullmark didn't have a new deal in place was the road block there. Hoping for the best with Letourneau and Boston has this uncanny way of finding the diamonds in the rough…Pasta was 25th overall, Bergeron and Krejci were 2nd round and some guy named Brad went in the 3rd.
Now it all makes sense. I noticed that Swayman was playing better and even that Ullmark seemed to be feeling some sort of inner stress that was hurting him. I feel for this whole organization at this point. I feel for Sweeney who doesn't deserve the hate, and I feel for all our players who are under all this pressure while we wait on Swayman. In the end we need to realize Jeremy needs to be happy to play well and we have been through tough times before. However, the point I want to make is it has been 13 years since we won the Stanley Cup and now we need to use the correct 4 lines to get there again. The new guys Tufte/Jones/Z/Lindholm and Tyler Johnson could help us a lot. A little quote for the Bruins from a great songwriter we lost in 2014 "There Is No Road To Happiness Happiness Is The Road."
Clearly Ullmark was not cooperating with the Bruins trading him. Did I read that they had a good deal with the Kings, Ullmark refused. Then the teams that wanted him got their goalie in other trades. There was really not many teams looking for Ullmark by July. The first round pick was great, having to pay Korpisalis is not good, especially for 3 more years. As far as Swayman contract impasse goes, I’m backing the Bruins in not paying over $7.5 million. I have no source to confirm any numbers but from reports, I’d let Swayman sit it out. As mentioned by other comments, Bruins defense lifts the goalie play, so Korpisalis may perform much better than last season. What do you think about the Swayman impasse? I’m curious?
Outstanding explanation.
The July 1st deadline was looming & it had to be done.
Perhaps Bs are counting on & spoiled by loyalty contracts?
I still want ullmark back next season! (Doubtful but that's my version of "fantasy hockey")
Great podcast.
👍
I think they valued the first round pick, which also explains why they were willing to take a goaltender back…
Honestly I got so tired of explaining this and a lot of other reasons that Ullmark was traded when he was. A lot of people don't want to listen to anything or anyone. They just want to place the blame where they want and think they know better than anyone.
Like every other year, the season will start and before you know it everyone will be on to something else to complain about.
Makes sense to move him when they did.. but at the same time with that thought, Why didn't they have Swayman's agent in talks almost from the time they were eliminated from the playoffs and get the deal done BEFORE the trade. Make that signing the priority. Now, Swayman is asking for the moon and they will have to live with Korpisalo… who can be a good goalie at times but he's been behind poor teams.. so in Boston, he might just have a good year.
Trading Ullmark isn’t the issue the meager return for doing so is. The Bruins own 25th overall, a goalie with some of the worst stats in the league, and a 5th round prospect. If we’re to believe Friedman that he has a 16 team no trade clause I find it hard to believe 16 teams couldn’t offer better than 25th overall especially when they still had a year on his contract to do so.
I'm sorry Ullmark might finish his career in a dumpster fire Senators. They just have nothing to show for whatsoever.
The AAV on Ullmarks contract was significantly lower than Korpisalos
I miss Ullmark…he should of never been traded.
