Amidst intensifying trade discussions involving Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark, reports indicate he has staunchly declined a move to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Linus Ullmark of the Boston Bruins is undeniably one of the NHL's most coveted goaltenders. With an exceptional save percentage, Ullmark clinched the Vezina Trophy in 2023.

Linus Ullmark (@Icebeardude) picks up the Vezina Trophy as the League's top goaltender!"

However, it seems Ullmark's tenure in Boston is nearing its end. Several teams, have expressed interest in the Bruins goaltender, including the the Ottawa Senators and the Toronto Maple Leafs throwing their hat in the ring.

"The Senators are likely to acquire a starting goaltender this summer. They reportedly made an offer to Boston for Linus Ullmark, and are expected to circle back in the near future. #GoSensGo

Is Ullmark the right choice? Jacob Markström and Juuse Saros have also been linked."

David Pagnotta of the Fourth Period revealed that Linus Ullmark has rejected the idea of joining the Toronto Maple Leafs and is unlikely to consider the Ottawa Senators. Toronto is among the teams on his no-trade list, and although Ottawa might be an option, he seems inclined to waive his clause only for a favorable trade offer.

"The Leafs are not in the mix for Ullmark, though, as Toronto is on his no-trade list. Ottawa is also believed to be on his list, but two separate sources have told me he would accept a trade to the Senators if a deal between the two teams is finalized."

With several teams engaged in trade discussions for this star goaltender, Linus Ullmark's destination remains uncertain. However, it's clear now that any speculation about him joining the Toronto Maple Leafs can be laid to rest.
