Proposal: Free agency edition Trade Rumours/Proposals [MOD - Stay on Topic] 5

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

You can't really play the "you most likely won't get picked up" game with a player, because ultimately it's not Ullmark's problem and he isn't going to risk having to move if he doesn't want to. Similar to what happened with Phaneuf refusing to waive.

With that said, if the expansion is Houston, it might be a can't lose situation for Ullmark. Most players would view Houston as an upgrade to Ottawa in terms of amenities and the tax implications. So either, he gets selected and goes to a no-tax state - or he doesn't get selected and he keeps his tandem together, which lessens the workload for him. He clearly seems to be a goalie who prefers to have a solid 1B or #2 behind him.

Ya, Texas is a no tax state. Houston is really hot with very high humidity. Not pleasant at all in the summer.

If Zetterlund gets promoted to the top nine for next season Amadio could find himself on the 4th line & could make a decent mentor for Halliday as he was for Pinto & Greig. I would still like to see them pursue Michael McCaron this summer, he would be a cheap upgrade on Highmore & Gaudette although it would not surprise me if Gaudette got extended after this season based on the goals he had during this season. McCaron would bring the physicality & enforcer this team needs & he has the speed & defensive ability to keep up, play on the PK, hit, take faceoffs, can play C or LW & add some offence to that 4th line. Halliday - McCaron - Amadio/Gaudette & in a couple of yrs Halliday moves to Centre & if Montgomery becomes an NHL player we end up with Montgomery - Halliday - McCaron/Amadio or Gaudette until a younger RW comes along to take that spot. This team needs a better 4th line for next season.
