Boston Bruins are at last ready to trade Vezina goaltender Linus Ullmark
It seems like the Boston Bruins are getting ready to trade their goalie Linus Ullmark, who won the Vezina Trophy for the 2022-23 season.
With Jeremy Swayman stepping up as the main goalie for the Boston Bruins in the playoffs, and Ullmarks contract ending soon a trade involving him seems likely.
The Bruins need to address gaps in their lineup this summer and dealing Ullmark could help with some of those challenges.
With three picks in the draft and none in the first round, The Boston Bruins might be looking to acquire a top pick to bolster their pool of prospects.
The timing works out well for the Bruins as Tom Fitzgerald, GM of the New Jersey Devils has expressed willingness to trade his pick for a goalie;
"Does the No. 10 pick get you that type of player that you can add to the group? It's easy to say, 'Go get so-and-so and then you build from there.' But there are some guys who have different contracts so how are those players going to reprice at. There's a lot to it, but, yes, the focus is on finding that goaltender."
According to reports the Devils might be interested in other available goalies, like Jacob Markstrom from the Calgary Flames and Juuse Saros, from the Nashville Predators. If they go for one of them it could open up opportunities for the Bruins to trade for a forward player, which they really need.
