Confirmed with Link: Linus Ullmark Traded to Senators

[xStanleyCupsFor]

Did Neely or Sweeney comment on this trade? Did any of the scribes ask them?

One does not simply ask a Harvard man about a trade. Not with a hundred scribes could you do this. It is folly.

 

[frankiess]

It's hilarious how Sweeney goes from hero to zero and back again and so on here on a constant basis.
I remember when he signed Ullmark from Buffalo people screamed for his head on a platter claiming it was a massive overpay for a mediocre goalie. Then he won a Vezina. Now it's we got robbed by Ottawa. Too funny.
I will be loving it when Korpisalo bounces back and plays good hockey as a back up and Kastelic becomes a fan favorite. (The pick who knows.) The love/hate for Sweeney just cracks me up though. Every year.

''Korpisalo bounces back and plays good hockey as a back up and Kastelic becomes a fan favorite. (The pick who knows.)''
That makes it three who knows for one Ullmark.

 

[EverettMike]

But how many of those years were under goalie Bob? Apples to oranges

Definitely value him at what you hope he'll be versus what he is, sure. Great startegy. Anyway, you got any other moves planned, Don?

 

[Sevendust]

Just reading the Ullmark signing and how yours truly had it 2 weeks before 4/20 (talk about pulling a number out of my ass lol)

He arrived here not well received but leaves beloved

Feel bad for him he loved it here

Hope he gets a standing ovation

Shame Bruins didn’t hire Jay Leach he’d have a Cup

I don't get what this has to do with valueing this trade or do you want to say Korpisalo will be the next "Ullmark"?

Both of these could be true and it would still have zero impact on the playoff roster.

 

[LouJersey]

It’s amazing how much less value an ex Bruin has then current Bruin when they are the same person.

Imagine proposing this deal in March.

How did the Ottawa Senators view Korpisalo's value prior to yesterday? Did they consider him an overpaid contributor to their 280 goals against season with an onerous contract length or did they view him as a possible diamond in the rough if they could just convince Bob Essensa to come and work for them?

If the Bruins buy the latter while the Sens were selling the former, somebody screwed themselves.

Let me answer with a question - how did they value him 12 months ago? They obviously thought he had some skill, should a bad year completely change that outlook?

If Ullmark goes there and puts up a 3.00 GAA and .900 SV% do you now value him as a cap dump based off that one season or a reclamation project?

Truth is I don't really know what the Sens or the league value anyone on a given day, I dislike this trade too but I'm trying to find some positive here...maybe I'm hopeless.

It’s a simple equation. Expensive backup out, cheaper backup, 1st rounder, & toughness for the 4th line in. If you think rental goalies are worth more, good luck. That’s what it looks like right now, nobody knows what the future holds

Expensive backup 5M, Vezina winner
"Cheaper" backup 3M, and he stinks

Makes all the sense in the world

Just paid some guy 100k for a couple packs of pokemon cards.

Just need to pull a holo Charizard 1st edition and my wife will rescind the divorce papers. Not sure why she doesn't see the logic in this plan.

 

[Sevendust]

Detroit just gave up a second round pick to get rid of Jake Walman and his contract that has two more years at 3.4 million. Sweeney is just a moron ....

 

[UncleRico]

But how many of those years were under goalie Bob? Apples to oranges

So why could’ve goalie Bob work is magic with a cheaper and younger bussi over a more expensive reclamation project in korpisalo?

To be fair that is an awful trade for Detroit, Walman isn't that bad at all.

My guess is insurance? But yeah not sure why that insurance couldn't be a vet goalie in FA and not Korpi...maybe they like him a lot more than the FAs

Yeah that was the whole plan with Bussi but now the hard on for Korpisalo who I doubt they keep at 3 mil per. Real cash is 8 mil over 8 years with a buyout

No - just pointing out how good I am at identifying goal tending

I identified ullmstk as primary target and caught serious back lash

Check out pretty funny looking back

As for Korpi he’s a highly athletic Goalie and quick

I sit on post row 2 so I got a mental book on all these guys

I wasn’t thrilled he was traded to us but I also read up on him extensively I bet more then everyone here because I was thinking of trading for him in SIM

I eventually got the Coyotes Vejmelka

But I read HF on him when he signed by people who watched him - read Columbus board of posters who seemed like know what there watching

I went deep on this guy - retirement and a deck allows it

He was in a shit show

People want tell me he sucks fine but I’m confident majority only know what they see on hockey data base

I am just as a bruins fan see how this goes - he could be traded, waived, make team or be in Providence

@DKH proposed something very similar 3-4 days ago and many were disgusted by it lol

Maybe the Sharks can get Essensa to work with Walman. After they make him a goalie.

Essential piece of kit around here.

 

[shelbysdad]

All the draft experts have been saying for months the quality falls off a cliff after pick 17/18 or so. 25 this year is like a mid second rounder most years.

Maybe that's a good thing

We do very well with mid 2 pics, not so awesome with 1sts

 

[Eddie Munson]

Our daily reminder that this was our chance to get some cap space and assets.

Assets - check-ish
Cap space - minimal at best

I’d rather have traded him for a 2nd round pick than gain 1.2m in cap for 25th OA. What good does 25OA do the B’s the remainder of this decade?

I’ve never been a Sweeney guy. This is why. What an F’n travesty.

It was tongue in cheek
