It going to be interesting to see what happens with Linus if he wants to be the guy there could be something
Ullmark know he will be traded and he dont want to be a backup so now he know Bruins tandem it s over. He s an elite goalie he have a 15 teams trade list and on this list probably most are good teams and probably some need elite goalie like alot of NHL team. Bruins will get a good return for him a fitst pick and another piece...Raycroft also said today that he thought he’d want to go somewhere where he’d be the #1, so he can make himself more marketable for FA next summer.
Can definitely see both scenarios making sense, especially if Sweeney wants to move him to a location that he prefers.

Reminds me of a story Brian Burke told in his book about getting Kaberle to waive his NTC in 2011:The one thing about Ullmark, regardless of his list, that may entice him to move is if Sweeney can get a club to offer an extension as a contingency. Linus may reconsider if someone was to give him 4 or 5 years at a decent rate.
He has some nice numbers looks like a dk lite.
Why is everyone clamoring for Lindholm so badly? He had a crazy season three years ago but aside from that I don't see an 8 million a year kind of player. Am i just underating him? I feel like he's the type of signing you start to regret in pretty short order.
It’s just funny a couple years back I brought up Monahan for cheap and everyone said he was done…washed up…absolute trash.
Now boom…he’s in the top tier discussion. Things change quick.
Sounds like a volatile player. Not paying the inflated price. No thanks.
Brian Burke is an absolute legend and a great manReminds me of a story Brian Burke told in his book about getting Kaberle to waive his NTC in 2011:
Burke to Kaberle: Give me a list of teams you will accept a trade too.
Kaberle calls his agent.
Agent to Burke: We have a NTC
Burke to agent: I didn't sign him
Agent to Burke: We have a NTC
Burke to agent: Okay, give me a list or he sits the remainder of the year
Agent to Burke: Boston.
There are always ways to get players to waive and I think I know how that convo would go with Linus. It would be much more civil than Burke/Kaberle.
I'm not even sure if Linus cares if he is "the guy". You would like to think so but not really sure if he is wired that way.It going to be interesting to see what happens with Linus if he wants to be the guy there could be something
I would love to trade Ullmark for Necas' rights...Ullmark know he will be traded and he dont want to be a backup so now he know Bruins tandem it s over. He s an elite goalie he have a 15 teams trade list and on this list probably most are good teams and probably some need elite goalie like alot of NHL team.

I don't know, 39.02 faceoff win percentage and is a minus 29 over his career is worrisome but at least he's young and can improve.if I’m Ullmark my thoughts
1. Swayman is their future
2. I want to play and in a place I’m comfortable playing and living
3. I will talk to agent make a list where I want to go and see if it’s a possibility & discuss with Sweens
Bussi all accounts is ready and can’t be sent without clearing waivers
Devils have Nico & Hughes who push down all the other C and take 75-80% of PP minutes
I’m Donny I go back for availability of Mercer
They got Nico, Hughes, Bratt, and Meier they can move Mercer
He’s got that Peter McNab production to me
The Devils shouldn’t do a 1:1 but the scale can be adjusted
I found this from last season on statmuse but not sure out of how many faceoffs.I don't know, 39.02 faceoff win percentage and is a minus 29 over his career is worrisome but at least he's young and can improve.
I would bet that Sweeney won't. Just my opinion.If you can get someone like Mercer, I think the Bruins have to do it. The Bruins should go after Dakota Joshua in free agency before the move though to bolster that 3rd line.
Joshua is big, tough, hits, fights, all things that Sweeney undervalues. After a number 1 center Joshua would be my priority in free agency, so you know Sweeney will resign Grizz instead.I would bet that Sweeney won't. Just my opinion.
Sprong is a cancer. He was when he played Q in my hometown. Just a complete asshole with a major attitude. Wouldn't speak teammates, demanded to be treated like a king, wouldn't speak to fans or take part in any community events. Just had a diva, better than everyone attitude. It may have changed but he was an absolute all around nightmare of a human being that everyone who came in contact with hated with a passion.. I've followed him bouncing around team to team and was not shocked whatsoever that he hasn't stuck anywhere long term.Sprong is 27 and hasn't really cashed in. With a lot of teams with money this offseason, I have to assume he is going to try to maximize hi earnings as this is his one big chance. Nice enough player, but I have to think he is going to be looking for 5 years in the 15-20 million total range, and with the amount of money available this offseason I suspect some GM will give it to him. I don't want to be that team
According to Sports Reference here are the career faceoff totals for Necas:I found this from last season on statmuse but not sure out of how many faceoffs.
