Traded Linus Ullmark traded to OTT for 25th, Kastelic and Korpisalo(25% retained)

[Relapsing]

Just need to announce a Kubalik extension and off-season is over.

Can we sign harmonic to another contract yet?

Not yet. Don't want to overshadow the big Italy eurocup tie today.

Steve Staios be my dad

No way, he's my uncle.

C-c-cousin?

Though the Senators were hoping to have a contract extension in place before making the deal, that wasn’t the case and there have been no formal talks with Ullmark’s Sweden-based agent Joakim Persson.

The belief is the attention will turn to those talks in the coming days, and if it happens it will likely be north $6 million per season. Ullmark had to wave his no-trade clause to come here, but is excited about the challenge of suiting up for the Senators.

That's from Bruce.

This is a phenomenal deal. Nice first trade by Steve.

I would have paid this price to get rid of Korpisalo alone. Bringing in Ullmark is amazing.

These are the types of trades we need to make to repair what Dorion did. I actually have some semblance of optimism about this team going forward now.

Got some advice from EK65 on living in Ottawa?

He lived in Buffalo so he is prepared to live anywhere in the world now.

Don't love that we didn't get to talk to Ullmark at all about an extension.

Like I said when the DeBrincat trade happened, that's a red flag. Might mean he wants to play out the year like DeBrincat, or he could just be asking for too much.

Still in this case we're talking about a late 1st for a top tier starting goalie + getting to dump a bad contract, so it's a win even if Ullmark doesn't extend.

He had to waive his NTC to come here so I'm not worried, rumours are he's looking for 35 mil over 5 years though which is workable but high.

The positive is, unless he wants to play in the SEL, there’s no “home” for Ullmark to go to. He also apparently doesn’t want to play in the West, or Toronto, so we should stand a good chance at keeping him if we’re willing to pay up.

Giving up a 4th liner instead of Chychrun AND getting rid of Korpisalo??? Damn son, looking forward to more rookie moves from this rookie GM

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

I'd love to see the talks in between "We need Chychrun, a 1st, and a small plus" and "We will take Korpisalo, a 1st, and a small plus".

 

[JimmyApples]

Feels like a trade another team would do, and we would all be jealous about

Super happy to have Ullmark! Hope it comes with an extension soon.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

There were a lot of people very happy about the DBC and Chychrun trades when they happened (not everyone, but a lot), but they didn't come with extensions. So you have to ask, what will one think sometime in the next year if there is no extension? Because Korpi is going the other way, it's hard to see this one being as catastrophic if that happens.

Also, this tells you what the market really was. Boston is not stupid. They took the best deal they had. Not unlike unloading DBC a year ago.

Context is different when you consider the price.

25th overall to dump 3M x 4Y and acquire Ullmark.

Chychrun (and dumping Zaitsev to facilitate acquiring him) cost a 1st round pick that was very likely to be in the top 15, three 2nd round picks, and a 4th.

Debrincat cost 7+39+2nd.

Imagine if we gave up a late 1st and a 4th liner to dump Zaitsev and acquire Chychrun. Nobody would complain now.

Friedman just said the expectation is that Ullmark will play out the season without an extension.

 

[saskriders]

I like it.

 

[Micklebot]

Friedman saying the expectation is Ulmark will play out the season before extending....

This is 100% accurate.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

That's from Bruce.

Why would he straight up say they’re working on an extension? Lmao

Although his agent would be smart to get one now since he isn’t far removed from his Vezina and who knows what will happen next year?

 

[thinkwild]

Hopefully alfie can help persuade him to sign longer. I guess no extension this summer so a lot of pressure on everyone to have a good year.

 

[Tuna99]

Thank God for Steve Staois

Ullmark is willing** to play out the year.

 

[2CHAINZ]

I mean makes sense given what the return for him was. I would have traded that package just to dump Korpisalo so. I assume Ullmark will go to Free agency and get paid hopefully we get a playoff run or flip him at the deadline for something.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Friedman says no extension. Ullmark intends to play out the year.

I think that explains the price. It was probably a situation where, if they wanted the 1st they had to take Korpisalo. Otherwise, it was probably much less. Boston may have overplayed their hand, with Calgary benefiting from moving Markstrom first and getting the better return.
