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

[Hale The Villain]

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.

With only a season left on his contract I get why he waived his NTC, but I don't think it necessarily means he's ready to sign in Ottawa for the rest of his career, or at least the bulk of what's left.

Not a lot of reasons for the Bruins to refuse the Sens talking extension with Ullmark pre-trade unless he's not interested in extending right away or wants a ridiculous contract that they think would scare the Sens way.

Hopefully Staios can get him locked up for something like 35M/5YRs. Would be fine by me.

 

[Micklebot]

Ullmark is willing** to play out the year.

Yeah, it may be a negotiation tactic, I fully expect us to try and get him to sign now, but there is risk

 

[L'Aveuglette]

My hot take without having read more than OP?

Hell of a good trade. Of course I have no idea what his contract is/will be, but this is a win in my books.

 

[GoSenatorsGo]

Think Staios is getting high fives from players?

 

[Dionysus]

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

If that's the case, price for a 1 year rental and getting out of 75% of Korpisalo's contract seems fair. Not a slam dunk win like it would be of he extends at reasonable term and dollars.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

In fairness, Friedman said things could change in the upcoming days, he never stated that Ullmark playing out the year was a given.

 

[DylanSensFan]

Ullmark is willing** to play out the year.

I take this as Staios saying, "I'm from Missouri, show me!"

 

[OgieO]

If no extension.. I still like it and it's fine just not a home run. Another short term solution to a long term problem? But in this case, even if it doesn't work out we essentially clear from Korpi contract and that's something.

We can't change the past, this seems like a good bet to me with minimal downside. Late 1st is 50/50 to be an NHL regular I think.

I'm just pointing out the missing part in your statement. Looks like you said that he will play out the season, while Friedman said he's willing to.

 

[Alex1234]

No 2nd included
Feels weird

Hip thrusts

Ah.. We'll see. Still like the trade either way. Let them work on it some when he gets here.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

No extension is better if he was asking for 7M x 5 years.

The odds of him being in a position to ask for much more than that are low. If he does play like a franchise goalie, you're happy to give him 8.XX but if he signs for 7M with term now and he's not a fit, there is a lot less flexibility to move him.

It's what they should have done with Murray considering his past issues at the time, but I suspect they needed the term so that they could get the cheaper first year to maximize the budget.

 

[Boud]

Apparently Ullmark has announced he will not sign an extension and will go to free agency after the year is completed.

Not sure I like this anymore, if true.

What's the point if we can't keep him?

 

[Cosmix]

Hope they agreed on an extension before they signed off on the trade but obviously can't mention it until July 1st

That's what I think has happened, or should have happened. We shall see on July 1.

 

[thinkwild]

I guess there is no incentive for Ullmark to sign quickly. The leverage is his now. I guess when there isnt a bidding war Boston cant hope for an in-division premium

lol this isn’t true. Friedman said he’s “willing” to play out the year but the sides will talk in coming days.

Still worth it to get rid of Korpisalo.

If we traded a top 10 pick like Dorion has done twice for rentals, then it would be horrible.

Who gives a f*** about the 25th pick, it's more likely to be a bust anyway.

 

[Boud]

I heard this from the Dangle coverage of the game right now so it might very well not be true... Surely hope that's the case.

I have PTSD from the Dorion era.

 

[OgieO]

Ulmark behind prepared to play out the year sounds like agent speak for "offer more"

Why subject yourself to Steve Dangle? That’s even worse than listening to Dorion speak.

To be honest, I think that makes it better.

His next contract is going to be a monster that will not age well. We get him at his best while playing for a new contract, and can flip him at the deadline for a late first and probably a sweetener for a team that wants that insulation for a Cup run. So essentially we get him for free.

No he hasn’t. the f*** are you talking about?

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

I’m like 10 minutes behind in the SCF, came in here to kill some time in first intermission, did not expect this!

Great trade, hopefully get a first back in a Chychrun trade!

There is no way they won't talk.. I could have told they would talk in the coming days
