Ottawa needs Ullmark to play like a #1 goalie & make the saves when these guys make mistakes which they make a lot of. He needs to be better.

He is a very strange goalie.
People are quick to forget, that his Hart level play prior to the back strain is what saved our season. Team defense and adapting to the system was part of it too, but Ullmark was playing like the guy who won the Vezina a few years back with a .940 or whatever it was.
At times, he looks like he belongs on Jack Purcell rink. Just flopping around. I wonder if he is playing hurt. He has not been good enough since returning.

He makes 7M in real dollars next year because typical Dorion and Melynk always pay more to backload contracts so that they can kick the can down the road.
I don't think a lot of people here would still sign that contract because of all the inconsistency, but in theory an 8.25M cap hit for a top 15-20 starting goalie isn't that crazy, especially when considering the Senators tax. Kevin Lankinen just got 4.5M with a NMC and signing bonuses after a Michael Condon style breakout season. The market is completely different now.

Oilers have LTIR space, trade Forsberg for Pickard and a lower round pick. This instantly gives us cap space to do something else. Most importantly, next season if Leevi isn't ready, Pickard is signed for one more season as a solid backup.
