I love Ullmark's confidence in this team. He's just been in Boston so he knows exactly what it takes to be a contender, so him saying he thinks they're on the right track is huge.
Yes, everyone knows that the best way to evaluate goalies is by looking at Just One Season - especially when that season is a huge progression/deviation from the rest of his career.Daccord is younger, played 50 games (versus 40 for Ullmark) and put up 2.46gaa and .916sv% compared to Ullmark's 2.55gaa and .915sv%. We're paying for a longer track record but there's no way if you removed the names that you'd suggest the second stat line is worth $3.25M more per season.
Right. As opposed to the absolute hallmark of consistency the position has become known for.Yes, everyone knows that the best way to evaluate goalies is by looking at Just One Season - especially when that season is a huge progression/deviation from the rest of his career.

Congrats, you proved the exact thing I said: "we're paying for the longer track record"...
A few got pretty close after leaving here.Finally acquired & signed an NHL goalie with Vezina Pedigree. Haven't had one since Hasek.
I think that doesn't have the 4.5 - 5M cap increase included.according to puckpedia we will have 12.5million cap space for next year with 13/23 players interesting hopfully couple prospects break in next year.
In my opinion, it is no coincidence that he signed just a couple of days after Swayman did.
It would seem he was just waiting to see what his buddy Swayman got.

They didn't ruin anyone. Korpisalo sucks. Forsberg sucks. Murray sucked. The list goes on. Backups at best being thrust in to starting roles. Sure, Ottawa wasn't great defensively, but nobody brought in since Anderson (or many during/before his tenure) had a track record that should have had anyone expecting otherwise. Their career stats told us what we needed to know, especially Korpisalo.I think us ruining goalies is how this deal got done. Linus doesn't want to risk getting hung out to dry by the sens system in a contract year so he inked now.
He shorted his own stock.
...and for us, even if our system shells goalies, we still want the best one we can get in net to stem the bleeding.
Win-win.
Where would you guys rank Ullmark compared to these others.... taking contracts into consideration:
Hellebuyck 8.5M
Swayman 8.25
Ullmark 8.25
Sorokin 8.25
Saros 7.7
Markstorm might be the bargain of the NHL at 4.125M. If he gives the Devils .910 save percentage this season, that is outstanding value.

Bishop played fine with us, we just had Anderson already and traded Bishop for what looked to be a stud rookie in Conacher. It didn't work out, c'est la vieBishop d'accord gus dreiger talbot murray.
All played way better after leaving or before arriving.
and he now plays behind chariot/petry/maatta so he is definitely turning back into a pumpkinBishop played fine with us, we just had Anderson already and traded Bishop for what looked to be a stud rookie in Conacher. It didn't work out, c'est la vie
D'accord played 9 games with us over 4 years ago - it wasn't until last season he even put up a save % above .900
Gustavsson followed up a great season in Minny with a stinker last season
Murray was cooked before coming here - put up .899 his last season in Pittsburgh
The only one on that list you can say played consistently better before and after is Talbot and it's only been 1 season he still has time to turn into a pumpkin haha
