Burrowsaurus interpretation.

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!

I know, right?

Didn't even think about searching for any trades or NHL news on game day.

This is wild.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Apparently, Boston thought they were getting Korpisalo at 75 percent retained, not that they were taking 75 percent of his contract. Now they are pissed.

This game of telephone got stupid fast...

 

[L'Aveuglette]

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.

Dangle totally has better contacts than friggin' Friedman so it makes sense for him to have more specific information.

Joking, he doesn't and this is ridiculous.

 

[Cosmix]

I'd say he'll sign.

I hope there is a handshake understanding on signing on July 1. If so, this is a win for the team. If not, then we have a good goaltender for one year only and the goaltending issue is not solved in the longer term.

Hopefully the AAV for Ullmark's next contract is acceptable and will be in line with his future performance.

 

[Boud]

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

What was said (by Dangle who interpreted what Friedman said - so take with massive grain of salt) was no negotiation at all and Ullmark going straight to free agency.

Again... nothing confirmed and I have not even heard what Friedman said.

Not wrong by any means

The ghost of Pierre Dorion was on the other line, telling one last lie on a trade call and misleading the Bruins about how much retention they were getting.

CJ says Ullmark has decided he’d like to play RD instead of goal next season. Staios willing to discuss.

Exactly. This trade is a massive win either way.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Boston must really like someone like Necas, and really needed a first round pick. Taking Korpisalo really makes no sense.

I wonder what the offer was for Ullmark at the deadline with Korpisalo.

Friedman said he is willing to play out the year not that he plans to,

[robsenz]

I'm not fully convinced by Ullmark just yet, but great trade, literally can't complain about anything here. I'm shocked they got rid of Korpi at all, and to toss in deadweight in Kastelic is icing on the cake

 

[Cosmix]

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.

We dumped 75% of a bad contract.

 

[Boud]

LMAO

For context I'm watching the game from my office in the Philippines (9:30AM) and all the streams are blocked.

 

[Cosmix]

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?

Source?

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

Glad we kept Forsberg. I think he is a good goalie, and if Ullmark is as advertised, we will have one of the best tandems in the league.

Same. I think any goalie playing behind our D is going to look average, at best. But getting rid of some dead weight and giving a guy with good pedigree a chance is definitely an upgrade.

None of our core guys can say Staios is sitting on his hands and not trying to improve the team, either. Now find an RD, and the kids are out of excuses next year.

Anyone have what Friedman said word-for-word.

Friedman: "Ullmark is not signing an extension in Ottberia, they are too poor, taxes are too high, it's too cold and fans don't buy enough tickets and merch."

Top of the waves not word for word but

Ulmark is willing to play out the season,
The expectation right now is that he'll play out the season, but that could change
