GDT: Trades & Free Agency -- Off-season edition

[Metroid]

If Ullmark can continue his play in Ottawa the Atlantic is going to be more annoying than usual.

Ullmark won't be that good on a senators team, I'm not worried. Korpi prob has a resergence and bruins flip him for more than they got for ullmark! Lol

 

[Kiwi]

When are the Leafs not generous?

They have been but this isn't an example of there largess

It's actually a team friendly deal, the only reason it's that low is his injury history

 

[Legion34]

Marner has the power here. Maybe he is giving the finger to the Leafs and make them endure the year then walk away.

Then he becomes Tavares 2.0.
Hard to get an endorsements if you are the most hated athlete in the biggest market in the world.

 

[Kurtz]

Wow, Boston gets the 25th and a 4th liner and has to eat a bad contract on top of that too. Worse return than Markstrom.

If Saros is traded he won't cost much. Though I think Canes are circling atm.

Yeah I don’t really see this as having done much for Boston tbh. They needed cap relief and this did not really help there

 

[Brobust]

Truth is that despite the vezina, I don't think there's a ton of faith out there in Ullmark.

Yea, the Leafs might have to care about more than just Matthews padding his goal totals

 

[Roo]

Ullmark will be exposed on the sens

 

[JKG33]

Ullmark will be exposed on the sens

Just like he did on Buffalo? Oh wait..

 

[Roo]

Just like he did on Buffalo? Oh wait..

Did he do anything of significance in buffalo? Do you think he’s getting another Vezina in Ottawa? Lol

 

[JKG33]

He put up a .915 and .917 on that garbage team. Does he get another Vezina? Probably not. But there's a reason Boston gave him the contract they did, he's a great f***ing goalie. In a world where there's maybe 15 legit starting goalies, he's damn sure one of them.

To get Ullmark for a 1st and Korpisalo is a huge win for Ottawa, because it should've cost at least that 1st just to dump Korpisalo for nothing

 

[Fogelhund]

My trade for Utah proposed some time ago was Marner, Jarnkrok, Kampf for 6OA, McBain, Crouse.

 

[htpwn]

No chance Boston trades Ullmark to us for that price, but hopefully Tre can leverage it and give up similarly little if he's planning is to trade for a goalie (Saros?).

 

[notdoneyet]

Ullmark is WAY better than anyone we bring in

If we get a backup like Brossoit our season is exactly the same as last year

Woll is our Murray. When they are on they are great but can’t stay healthy


That’s why I think we are trying to get a name goalie

 

[Menzinger]

That's a pretty meh return for Boston, though the lack of an extension obviously hurts value from their end

I love this for the Leafs. If Ulmark played the rest of the series Leafs would have beaten them. Swayman was just way better.

Ottawa is a dumpster fire in defending so watch Ulmark suck without a good Boston D system behind him

Now that's an insult to Woll

I didn’t say he was a bad goalie, and agree that it’s a solid deal for Ottawa. I said he would be exposed. He doesn’t have that d in Boston any more. Good goalie, but this doesn’t get the sens into the playoffs imo. And I’m pretty sure Samsonov had similar save % for us last year, so him doing it a couple of times doesn’t matter.

McBain would be a great 4C for a nasty line..... McMann-McBain-Reaves

But he wasn't exposed in Buffalo is my point. This Sens team is better than the Sabres when Ullmark was there.

I mean yea, look at this Leafs team vs 2020ish Sabres

We should target Maccheli in any trade with Utah is it ever happens.

 

[trellaine201]

I wonder if there are deals in place and the teams are waiting for the cup to be over?

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Linus Ullmark traded to Ottawa Senators.

Wonder if that pushes them into the playoffs.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Surprised Ullmark returned so little… maybe he was using that NTC to limit options (like Toronto).

Ottawa is an interesting place to be ok with going.

I’d speculate that after playing in a tough environment in Boston he preferred to find an easier market to play out his final year before selecting an ideal location in free agency.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Great move for Ottawa… getting rid of Korpisalo’s contract is a W
