NHL trade rumors suggest the Vegas Golden Knights may be interested in goaltender Linus Ullmark if the Ottawa Senators struggle next season.

A recent article by Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review has ignited speculation about a potential blockbuster trade involving Vegas Golden Knights and Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark.

While the Senators are banking on Ullmark to elevate their team’s performance, Webster suggests that a slow start to the season could open the door for a trade.

Why Linus Ullmark is an Attractive Target

The Golden Knights’ current goaltending situation presents an intriguing scenario. While Adin Hill showed flashes of brilliance during their Stanley Cup run, his injury history raises concerns about his ability to shoulder a full season’s workload. Additionally, Ilya Samsonov, acquired in the offseason, needs to rebound from a disappointing season in Toronto.

Ullmark, a former Vezina Trophy winner, is undoubtedly an upgrade over both options. His consistent performance and experience in high-pressure situations make him an ideal fit for a team with championship aspirations. If either Hill or Samsonov falters, Ullmark could be the missing piece that propels the Golden Knights back to the Stanley Cup Finals.

What’s Next?

Of course, this is all speculation at this point. The Senators will likely be reluctant to part with their star goaltender, especially so early in the season. However, if they struggle out of the gate, and the Golden Knights are looking for a boost, a trade could become a very real possibility.
