Rumor: Rask signing with B's imminent

[inthe6ix]

Will be interesting to see for how much (league min?) and whether Swayman gets sent down or Ullmark gets moved.

Either way, will be good to see Tuukka back in the league shortly.

Ullmark has a full NMC the first 2 years of his deal doesn't he? Wouldn't think he'd want to waive that to be traded less than halfway into his first season there, unless it hasn't felt like a fit for him.

Ullmark for Koskinen+2nd/3rd?

Why on earth would Boston do this lol Koskinen is horrendous.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Boston isn’t moving ullmark. Good to see rask coming back.

 

[M2Beezy]

I can see some Bruins fans liking it, others not liking it, non Bruins fans will be mixed, some thinking its a good deal and others thinking it will be a poor signing

BANK ON IT

To get a free pick & Koskinen is on the last year of his deal.

Don't they have a 3 headed monster at goalie now though?

Swayman to Ahl. Waiver exempt.

Just a question but why wouldn't Tuuka wait until after the Olympics? He would definitely be the started in a tournament as likely the best player involved and he could use it as a warmup for a playoff run with Boston

My guess is he doesn’t want to take a chance dealing with covid and China quarantine if he catches it over that.

Yeah that's not worth it to give up Ullmark and take on one of the worst goalies in the NHL. Boston isn't tanking.

Wouldn't Rask & Swayman be a good duo though? Koskinen can be waived.

 

[Kranix]

Please for the sake of my fantasy team trade Ullmark to a contender that needs a number 1

 

[kcunac]

How many games will Rask get?

Rask hasn't played all season and last season he was average. The Bruins didn't sign Linus Ullmark to that contract just to trade him in exchange for half a season of Rask.

I highly doubt Ullmark gets moved, and since Swayman is waiver exempt, the likely scenario is that he gets sent down and Rask joins the team sometime in late-January after going through a few more practices with the team and playing for Providence.

Average while playing through a hip injury

Seems maybe unnecessary, but good on the Bruins for showing loyalty to a player who’s done so much for them.

 

[jetsforever]

Good to see him back even though I'm not a fan of Boston

Ullmark for Koskinen+2nd/3rd?

I'd do a 2022 1st if we can add this on the (Yamomoto for DeBrusk rumour) and get retention on DeBrusk and move Koskinen

Edm 2022 1st + Yamamoto + Koskinen for DeBrusk (50%) - pending RFA and Ullmark

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Yeah that's not worth it to give up Ullmark and take on one of the worst goalies in the NHL. Boston isn't tanking.

Koskinen is an expiring contract. They would be rolling Rask and Swayman anyways. Koskinen can sent down and hide 1 million of the contract. If they are going to send down Swayman, why not send down Koskinen and add a 1 rounder for the draft or a potential deadline deal?

Adding Koskinen literally means nothing for Boston and the standings. There's not much difference between a Rask/Swayman tandem and a Rask/Ullmark, that first could be used towards a guy like Giroux at the deadline.

Watch. Imminent as in 45 thread pages

I remember reading that his daughter has health issues, which is also why he left the bubble.

Probably doesn't want to risk being away from his family for an extended period of time if he tests positive. I sure as hell wouldn't.

I'd do this in a heart beat.
