No, but the question is will they get rid of Forsberg now that it's clear who the much better backup is?
He’ll be a piece going back the other way when/if we make a deal with a seller to make the cap work.
It’ll be like the NBA. Having a pending UFA, who you have no use for, as a trade chip to match salaries can be a benefit when trying to make a trade.

Ully seems to prefer a lighter schedule. Only back-to-back this season was when Foresburg went down in warmups. If Leevi can keep his focus and keep his game playing ~1 or 2 games a week then this may be a match made in heaven.

How does Merilainen heating up affect Zack Dietz?
I am pretty sure he was faking his injury out of fear that he might have to play more than 39 games, but now that he has another goalie we will hear that he magically recovered and is ready to come in hot and play another 5 games this season.

Unpopular opinion but you send him back when Ullmark returns and let him crush in the AHL and catch his breath after a job well done with the big club. If Ullmark goes down again, he will be ready. If Ullmark doesn't go down again, Forsberg will be fine for 1 game out of 5 for games 48-68 or so.
Bring him back up for the stretch so he can be around the team for games that matter and when it's easier and less risky to wash our hands of Forsberg.
This allows Levi the best of all worlds. He gets some time to relax and process things after a very good run but also continues to work a heavy load in the A instead of sitting while Ullmark plays the majority. It ensures we don't burst the bubble that we're witnessing but it brings him up to get a taste of the preparation and intensity that goes into meaningful late season hockey, while also getting a few games during that stretch.
The only exception to this is if Ullmark can't play 4 out of every 5 games when he returns until the end. If thats the case I prioritize the team over Levi's development.
