and on that note, I’ve made my decision. Can’t trade a goalie. They’ll live or die with these two.

Have to wonder how they would do if they each played on a different team. I'm sure they would be really good goalies, but not so sure they would be as good as they are when together. The mental game is very important when it comes to goalies. The support they have for each other seems to really take them to the next level. Having the trio of Ullmark, Swayman, and Essensa is something that cannot be appreciated enough by Bs fans.
Impossible to tell. All i know for sure is that together they’re playing like two of the best in the league. Their bond is undeniable. Sweeney would be a total jackass to get involved at this stage.

It makes a decent amount of sense from outside looking in to move one of them, but considering how they’re playing and seeing this bond on a daily basis I’m not surprised management hasn't split them up yet.
But without a doubt if Donny gets the right offer, that’s not on Ullmark’s NTL cus he’s obviously not waiving it, he’s making the move.
It sucks but he has to continue conducting business, it just has to be worth the return and the negative effect it may have on the room. That’s the part of the job that we the fan have trouble reading.
Managing the team is a delicate task. Retaining a promising goalie like Swayman is strategic for future strength, yet altering team chemistry now is a challenge. Here's hoping for a positive outcome!
interesting POV. I personally never have seen something like those two. There is simply something special, friendly, and their bond might be at the highest level.

I was always surprised at the price/value of a high end goalie on the trade market. I don't think the Bruins would be better off trading him unless they're at the point where the team goal has changed (I won't actually say it). They have one of the most cost effective tandem in the league. Why changed that?

Because you can replace one of them with an everyday forward or defender which is much more valuable come playoff time.
My thought exactly- not that they rush into anything, but if the opportunity to add an important player comes at the price of losing one of the goalies, I think it has to be on the table.

I don't think you'll find a team pays the price of "an everyday forward or defender" for a goaltender. Unless it's part of a giant package with pieces going the other way.
I think he means shedding that cap space, not so much the specific return for said goalie.

Now that the cat is out of the bag of Ullmark almost being dealt today at the trade deadline, we'll learn what his true value is in the open market this summer.

He basically tried to paint it as he wasn't shopping him and that LA came with an offer that didn't bowl him over anyway and before discussions progressed further Linus put a stop to it. Not sure how true that picture of it is.

I mean he never would have went to Linus to ask if it wasn't something worthy of discussion. Linus would have had to know

Agree -Fitzgerald and Sweeney are buds and great lines of communication and Ullmark would work in that organization
He’s the guy I’d go get if Tommy Boy
With the 23-24 script just getting into juicy parts needs and time intersection is ways away for both these teams
This would be my guess where he ends in June at some point
probably. but he said a defenseman was coming back only. mayve it was ottawa for chychrun?
Anyone else here this: "Weekes reported, “…so there was a deal that he essentially nixed, in large part based on geography, I’m told.” Mark Spector of Sportsnet writes, “A rumoured deal that would have sent Pierre-Luc Dubois to Boston for goalie Linus Ullmark never panned out, leaving the Kings vulnerable in goal as they try to avoid a third consecutive opening-round exit.”
If the bruins really want Dubois so bad just wait until he’s bought out
I can’t imagine they were seriously considering trading Linus for that contract
