The Boston Bruins are firmly entrenched as Stanley Cup contenders, but as the NHL trade deadline approaches, the focus shifts to whether GM Don Sweeney will make a move to bolster an already strong roster. With limited draft capital, one potential trade chip has emerged: star goaltender Linus Ullmark.
Elliotte Friedman has reported that teams are expressing interest in Ullmark. The Swedish netminder’s stellar play over the past three seasons, combined with a very team-friendly $5 million cap hit through next year, makes him an incredibly attractive target. However, Ullmark does have a 16-team no-trade list, adding a layer of complexity.
Bruins Seeking Second-Line Center, Could Linus Ullmark Be Moved?
The Bruins find themselves in a unique position. Jeremy Swayman has proven to be an NHL-caliber goaltender. The idea of parting with Ullmark raises the question: is it better to have two top-notch goalies for a deep playoff run, or to leverage one for immediate roster upgrades?
The presumed target for the Bruins is a second-line center. A dynamic center to slot in behind Pavel Zacha would significantly improve their chances of finally capturing that elusive Stanley Cup since 2011.
