Confirmed Signing with Link: [OTT] G Linus Ullmark signs extension with the Ottawa Senators (4 years, $8.25M AAV)

[frightenedinmatenum2]

After educating myself through reading the wizard-mind takes on hfboards, I'd like to set a few things straight...

Linus Ullmark stinks, and his contract is brutal. The 8 games he struggled following an injury is the true sample size that shows what he is. Yeah, he was a good goalie for 7 years, but that doesn't matter. And his current insanely hot stretch of 7 games is a fluke, he'll soon revert to his usual self, which was the 8 games of struggle.

Korpisalo is one of the best goalies in the NHL. His good play for 1 month is the most important sample size. Ignore his 7 year career of inconsistency and mediocrity, that's what we call a small sample size. And his .901 is actually better than Ullmark's .910, because Ullmark is once again benefitting from a great defensive team, what the Ottawa Senators are known for.

Mark Kastelic may be on the 4th line, but he is an ascending star. Sure, he has 0 goals 3 assists in his last 20 games, but that's a small sample size. As is his inconsistent play with the Sens. He'll soon revert to his typical 7 points in 11 games form of October.

Conclusion: brutal trade by the Sens. Ullmark's luck will soon run out, and he'll be back to his usually crappy self. Kastelic and Korpisalo would have guaranteed a 100 point season from the Sens.


To be fair and unsarcastic for a moment, I still believe in Jeremy Swayman. He was outstanding for the last 2 years. The insane pressure after holding out and signing a huge contract is giving him problems. I guarantee he returns to form and has good seasons in most of his contract, whether he returns to form this year or next year.

I accidentally hit the like button after the first paragraph but then I realized you were being sarcastic. I just want you to know that my like isn't valid.

Hate seeing all this cope from Sends fans about the trade. I still wear my Kastelic jersey and I get so many comments when walking down Elgin Street. The everyday fan knows what's.up about the great swindling of June 25th.

So yeah, ignore that like. I unlike your post.

Kastelic was a throw in and hes been a solid 4th liner korpi and ullmark numbers are a wash right now and that 1st round pick was a sweetener and dont forget you guys are paying a portion of korpi salary for his term of contract. I don't see how we lost the deal at the moment?

Wait, you were not joking with all this?

Nonsense we haven't seen that dean leternaeu kid play yet he could be a stud.

Even if the pick turned into Kucherov, the initial value was a late first round pick, no matter what. The team getting the pick can always improve the quality of their return by making the best possible selection. It doesn't have anything to do with the team that gave the pick though

Where are all the regulars like the don god father posting in this thread 5+ times a day? Must have went back into their hidey holes since Ottawa will soon pass them in the standings.
