This time last year I dropped $10 on Ullmark to win the Vezina at +1500.
I just did the same for Swayman at +2500….

It's a privilege to have two #1 goalies, but if the playoffs started right now Swayman's definitely in nets

Sway is playing like a #1 goalie. Ullmark not so much.
Maybe this is the year where Swayman plays the majority of the games? Ullmark looked bad against Detroit in the 3rd period.

Ullmark had one bad game. He’s still going fine. It just seems worse because it pales in comparison to what swayman is doing. Not ullmarks fault tho.

ullmark maybe had 2 bad periods this season. seems like we are spoiled by not having to watch
half the league's goalies every night.

So many suggestions to move away from the rotation.. How quick we are to forget what happened this past spring.
Stay the course.
Also, this kid is ON ONE. And I love the low key feistiness he brings with guys out front of his net. Subtle and sneaky.

What an absolute stud. Lucky the leafs didn’t take him. Word is they were scouting him but opted with Ian Scott. Thank the lord.
Why? Why not roll both of them. It’s working really well. If they did the same thing in the playoffs instead of trying to roll with one goalie they would probably do a lot better. I don’t understand why they didn’t.
I wouldn't do this now. Continue riding both guys as that keeps them fresh and it's your best path to accumulating points. Trade deadline though? If Swayman keeps this up I am definitely looking to trade Ullmark. Trade him to a western conference contender. If the Oilers climb back into it maybe they would be interested. Something like that. Then see if you can do something with the potential cap space. I see no reason to keep both of these guys for the playoffs. We have seen that movie before multiple times and it has failed multiple times.

Because 2 years in a row Ullmark has pissed down his own leg in the playoffs and his prorated $5m of cap space will go a long way at the deadline
He is also the best asset you have to deal. Not sure there is going to be a ton of activity at this deadline.
the only thing i am sure of is Swayman is the guy I am building around
Swayman is the future here. Ullmark, though still prime in goalie age terms, is the placeholder. That is how I see it, even though I like Linus a lot and always feel happy when he is in the cage. If I had to choose, I take Sway every time, but I don't envy DS the decision he'll have to make in the pretty near future.
Bussi has been terrible up until recently down in Providence.
People really need to be careful what the wish for.
providence in general has been terrible. His numbers aren't as good as last year, but that team has been an absolute mess
Well I didn't wish for back to back first round exits involving a complete mess in goal but that's what has happened. So I am ready to embrace a shake up/different approach if you can then make the team better in another area.
You could find that in a separate deal if needed.

I know it's 5 months out, but how Monty handles the goalies in the playoffs will be interesting to say the least..
That's fine, keep Ullmark and Swayman all the way through the playoffs. I'm not sure anything will change. When if you trade Ullmark and ride Swayman you have a chance to improve another area on the team. You could also find a cheaper backup somewhere instead of Bussi. I just think it's something Sweeney has to consider.
I am sure he will absolutely consider it during the offseason but for now, just let them ride. No need to mess with what is working and is a strength for the team.
There is almost no question that one of them is getting dealt in the offseason, most likely Ullmark.The Bruins need that cap space to bolster their forward group.
