Why don’t we see more talk about going after Ullmark? Is it age? Future contract value? Feels like his name doesn’t come up anywhere near as often as Saros

Ullmark and Marchand have one year left on their deals and Bruins have a bunch of cap space. Probably gonna have one last go before they decide to enter a rebuild.

For anyone paying attention, there is a negative zero chance they move Swayman. (and even if they would, the price would be crazy).
But lets get Ullmark!! I’ve wanted him since his Buffalo days.

They already tried to trade Ullmark and he blocked it at the deadline. So we’d have to be off his 15 team no-trade list.
He doesn’t have term (5 mill this year and expecting a big raise and term as he’ll Be 31) so it’s a gamble on being right back where we are in a year if he’s unhappy/plays bad/gets hurt.
Fitz wants a goalie term to stabilize the position almost guaranteed. So he’d have to agree to an extension in addition to a trade.

This was pretty much a given. Boston has little cap space going forward and everyone knows they have to let go of one goalie soon. They even tried dealing Ullmark at the deadline which I was pretty surprised by tbh. Ullmark is probably our most realistic option considering it may be too much to get Saros but who knows what kind of schemes Fitz has up his sleeves.
I will say though, hoping for some one-in-a-million-chance miracle Boston can’t retain Swayman and we manage to nab him. Dude’s 25 and already a top 10, maybe even top 5 goalie in this league. Basically your goalie for the next decade. Would be a perfect fit here.

The devils should trade for ulmark and if we’re on his “no trade” list float a the option of a deal if he drops it

Don’t want a Bruins goaltender… they’re insulated behind a top 3 defense. Swayman I’m a believer in to some extent… he’s their guy; I have zero interest in Ullmark.
Despite that, I really think Boston’s going to want a good skilled center who can top 6/PP, and we don’t have any to spare.

We have as much chance as getting Swayman as we do getting Shesterkin next summer
And speaking of Sheshterkin, would love for Fitz to make an off-the-wall offer to drive up his value and make those clowns overpay by a lot to keep him.
But I think to be honest, our spending days are over & Jake Allen is our starter going forward as Harris probably stretched himself too thin with his NFL thing and Blitzer has to match him now and will soon jump at the chance with his Cleveland Guardians to be majority owner & buy everyone else out.
And we still haven’t heard the specifics of what the monetary value of the new MSG TV contract extension was & I strongly suspect it is far less lucrative than what it was during its 20 term that just ended

Definitely Ullmark. Would like to go after him and extend him as well

Dollar to donuts says it’ll be Ullmark.
