I love that the Sens let the Bruins do all the heavy lifting on this. Bruins go through contentious negotiation with Swayman, but finally get a deal, and Staios just turns to Ulmark and asks

Staios: "How 'bout that for 4 years?"

Ulmark" "Sure"

It's with every Ottawa signing. It's fun to see the same names every time.

Like when they criticized the Sanderson extension or Stutzle. It's adorable

First it was ooh he's going to free agency he'd never resign with the ottawa poverty franchise.

Now it's actually that he stinks and couldn't possibly sustain his numbers for 4 years and it was allll a mirage and Boston that made his numbers and he's never really been good.
Also he's forgotten everything goalie bob taught him because.... ottawa


Who they got in nets again?
They can all eat it

Ullmark is the most Ottawa on brand player we’ve had since Alfie

I love Ullmark, the city of Ottawa is family paradise and lots of guys who are grown up and settled down now really love the Ullmark vibes of “family first, my kids happiness above all else and let’s enjoy this hockey and take is seriously and win a Cup, but let’s remember what’s important”

After the pandemic, coming out of the Melnyck nightmare and just being an Ottawan born and bread - this to be is the on brand message that Ottawa loves. It worked with Alfie and us watching us cheer his family growing, Redden and Neil nights with their Moms, Chris Phillips and what he went though as a kid - it’s engrained in this franchise to feel small and family first and that’s hat will lead us to winning and a happy fanbase.

This is a fine contract for a top goalie that is in the prime of his career. Salary not an issue with the cap going up next year and Giroux either taking a $2-3 million reduction or off the books entirely.

That's cold, hard fear you're seeing there.

But he hasn't even played a game yet!

His numbers aside from Boston are not really a starter's workload!

Ok, thanks for the opinions. We now have a vezina winning, real goaltender for the first time in years. Go away

It's funny. Some of those same posters were the same ones that were laughing when we didn't automatically sign him to an extension. Now that we have him extended - it's apparently a mistake lol.

I'm not sure what people expect. It's not easy to find a good NHL starter. That's why the teams that have one tend to work hard to keep them. And the Sens have struggled to find one in the post-Anderson era.

We've tried to bring in a former star that was on the downturn in hopes that he could regain his form (Murray), but that didn't work out.

We tried to bring in a goalie that put up poor numbers throughout most of his career, but finally had a breakout season (Korpisalo). That didn't work out.

We've hoped that a backup could transition into a starter (Forsberg), but that hasn't worked out.

We could wait to see if one of our prospects could pan out, but that might not work out either.

Ullmark is a proven starter that recently won a Vezina and has put up consistently solid numbers throughout his career. He was available because Boston could only keep one of him/Swayman long-term and we acquired him for a pretty decent price. Obviously there are no guarantees, but this extension seems pretty reasonable to me.

According to the main board this is a disaster because it's possible within the last few days he could have been Fred Flintstone bonked on the head and forgotten he's a goalie.

mainboard makes fun insults every top player that ever signs here saying it will be bad so im not surprised.
