Ullmark windows are covered with plywood and he bought 500 cases of Poland Springs water from Cosco1st and Bahl for a guy with a NMC
Pressure is on Donnie
I’d guess that was the plan but now the feeling is likely a game 7 next Monday so screw itTrades for roster players should not be allowed until after the Final ends.
how many Goaltenders have been in New Jersey since Brodeur left and how has that worked since..... never mind Utica/Adirondack.... Aren't the Devils on their 20th coach since the team was transferred from John McMullen to Harris/Blitzer1st and Bahl for a guy with a NMC

Younger, better resume. Definitely.I would assume that Ullmark would get more in a return.
Ullmark only has one year left on his deal, though.Younger, better resume. Definitely.
Rights to resign. A team that wants him for the next 4-5 years will trade for him. Gives them solid net presence for teams in need or that have a rookie who needs a stopgap to develop.Ullmark only has one year left on his deal, though.
I like what I have seen from him. 23 years old, already 150 NHL games. Problem was they used him as a top 4 alot of times, which he isn't. I would have loved to see the Bruins get their hands on him, at 6'6" 230 lbs or whatever. Soley a 3rd pair, pk guy....NJ 2025 First rounder is going to be middle of the pack at best, low at worst. Its top 10 protected so if they injury themselves into the lottery again it wont help Calgary.
With Markstrom NJ will play better next year.
The Prospect is not a guy NJ fans seems to miss at all and have little to no good to say about him. Bottom pair D if not AHL fodder.
So, mid to low 1st in 2025 and a midling prospect.
Will be interesting to see if Ottawa pays their 7th OA this year for Linus or take a page in NJs book and do a 2025.
I also don't think this trade puts pressure on Don to get a deal done. I have a feeling Sweeney might be trying to use Linus in a trade for a Center elsewhere...
Colorado just makes way too much sense. He aligns with the window, and they sign him for another 5 years, and run for the cup every season.Rights to resign.

Its not often you can get a year of a recent Vezina winner in his prime.
If anything this puts pressure on teams like Ottawa whose goaltending was among the worst all year long. They need to get into the postseason, Ullmark can help them with that but I am sure the cost of acquisition from a division rival is high.Thank the Lord that someone else took PLD
I wanted no part of that
Between Markstrom and Kuemper though, the market for Linus is getting smaller - basically Ottawa and Edmonton if he even waives for Canada. I'm worried we're going to end up keeping him - I like him but that's a lot of cap space for a second goalie when we have bigger holes to fill.
I wouldn't. I think a low 1st and a middling prospect would be a very good return for Ullmark.I would assume that Ullmark would get more in a return.
I hope Don stays away from those magic beans. They won't help us get past Florida.If anything this puts pressure on teams like Ottawa whose goaltending was among the worst all year long.

Don will keep Linus rather than move him for parts or magic beans.
There is always TDL where he could be one of the top names available again.
