I think with Ullmark, Boston has been his therapy, he wasn't in a good state mentally when he left buffalo. He found a brother in swayman. He's emotionally attached to the Bruins. Certainly complicated things when Bussi shows talent.

I have a soft spot for guys that WANT to be here and show obvious pride in wearing a Bruins jersey. I can't help it.

Makes it very difficult for me to admit that I would move Ullmark. It's not that I would want to, but the money makes things difficult.

People can be pissed at Ullmark but at the end of the day, he has a 16 team NTC on a contract given to him by the same guy who is attempting to trade him. Also Sweeney isnt going to give him away just to get rid of him. This team is very much competitive and Ullmark is a big part of that whether people like it or not.

I am not shocked he wasnt moved. But it doesnt mean he wont be.

Lastly, I know hes an RFA, but I would feel waaaay more comfortable with Swaymans contract being done before Ullmark is moved. Just putting that out there.

Anyone who is pissed at Linus is an ass.

and they better lock Sway up before letting Linus go.

The Cap unfortunately. I dont see the Bs going into next season with a 10 to 12M tandem.

Not if Swayman agrees to a bridge deal for less $ and then Ullmark takes less when he becomes UFA. Then Swayman gets his money. I can totally see those 2 doing this. Ullmark & Swayman are brothers without the genetics & rivalry, both would stop a bullet for the other. I've never seen anything like their relationship in pro sports and I've been watching for over 50 years.

I think it's slim, but I could see them saying how much are you willing to spend on a tandem and dividing that money amongst themselves. The thing is Boston would still need to weigh if they'd rather move Ullmark for an asset even if he'll sign for less to stay.

There no way I see Sway signing a one year deal for peanuts to keep the tandem together. Bad business. One injury or one down season and he’s out literally millions.
(If he signs longer for peanuts he’s insane. His agent shouldquit and NHLPA should question his sanity.)
Then if he and his agent lost their minds on one year bridge both he and Linus become UFA after next season. The odds of both them signing yet again for less a bazillion to one. Plus the Bruins would be insane going into a scenario of losing both for nothing.

But thats me. My opinion.

He went to arbitration last time too rather than signing some team friendly deal.

Seems like the kind of guy who knows the system and what he's worth, like a good professional.

At the end of the day, especially for younger players, it’s a business. As it should be. Their financial future is on the line.

LA receives
Linus Ullmark

Boston receives
Alex Lafferiere
1 or 2 Draft pick

Lock

Hell there is nothing stopping Ullmark & Swayman (or having their agents) from going to management & saying- what needs to be done so we can remain a tandem?

Could happen

Ullmark doesn’t appear to got the memo ‘the pursuit of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness’ is now ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of money’

he clearly wants to stay here for rest of career as of now

In regard to Ullmark TDL rumors I dont know if we will ever know real story or who made what contact when.
All most agree on its was ‘geographical’.
Ive seen speculation that it was LA, SJ and Colorado.
But who the hell knows.

I think it was NJ. Their deadline was really strange like the deal fell through and then they panicked and grabbed Allen.
 
Mike Felger commented on Ullmark using his ntc today. He kept saying “As long as Linus is happy” and “When did going to LA for a couple months become like going to Siberia?”. “I’m so glad he’s happy” :laugh:
 
Ullmark saved the Bruins from an idiotic trade if they were going to get Pierre Luc Dubois. Of course, a moron like Felger wouldn't consider that, nor the fact that the guy negotiated a partial NTC and used it. And that the Bruins knowingly tried to trade him to a team on his no trade list.

If Felger really feels so strongly about it, I suggest he light himself on fire outside TD Garden. Otherwise, he's a phony and a coward.

Well management agrees because they were actually the ones who liked the trade enough to try to make it happen.
