Proposal: Bos-Ott Ullmark for Norris, Forsberg + pick

[SweSensFan]

Boston needs a top 6 centreman, Ottawa needs a legit starter.

Norris is playing #2c now and has not have his best season after shoulder injury but has proven he can score at a 40+ goal a season pace. Forsberg will be a decent backup to Swayman.

Not a Bruins fan but I dont think that moves the needle for them tbh.

Pass.

Keep it simple, Ullmark for your 2024 1st

Consider my Bruins needle very much unmoved

Yes, very simple. Simply stupid.
Ullmark is not worth a top 5-7 pick, are you nuts?

 

[KevinRedkey]

Norris gets paid 7.950 for 6 more years after this one, and is on pace for roughly 25g and 50p. There's no way in heII he doesn't currently have negative value, and that's coming from a Sens fan.

There's Certainly a chance he turns it around and becomes the player he was in 2021-22 but I'd certainly be quite surprised if Boston went all-in on that bet.

Pinto is the only realistic name Boston would probably entertain for one of their goalies.

What do you think moving a Vezina winner in division costs? If Ottawa wants him that's the cost

A Vezina winner with 1 more year left on his contract is still not worth a top-5 pick even if traded within the division.

In any case, Ottawa isn't helping Boston with a top-6 center just as Boston won't give Ottawa a slightly better goalie than what they currently have.

Bruins were interested in Pinto before. Might be something there.

Top 3 protected I'd do it but we would need to shed salary so Boston would problably need to take either Tarasenko (they add something like a 2nd) or Kubalik + Forsberg. (No need to add)

Could have ended your post half a sentence earlier and been fine but wow.

I'd consider it. Pinto has been lights out since coming back but an elite goalie is worth alot and Grieg is a good #3c.

if greig and pinto finish the year strong i could see ottawa looking to move norris in the offseason. it's a big contract to move during the season.

I hear ya! Mostly just entertaining the idea obviously. So would you consider trading Pinto for Ullmark?

not a sens fan but i think it makes more sense for the sens to trade norris.

If Ullmark had more term, yeah - but he's a UFA too soon and Pinto is too good to trade for what could be 1 year of Ullmark. If we were a more desirable location (LA, NYC, etc..) I'd be less concerned about it.

Swayman I'd consider, but I imagine Boston would prefer to keep him.

 

[Djp]

Ullmark with ony 1 full year left is not returning Norris nor a top 15 pick.

BREAKING NEWS: Vezina winner is slightly ahead of a, at best, bottom end NHL starter according to sens fan.

It's worse than that. Among 68 goalies with at least 10gp this season Korpisalo is nr 64 in save %.

A 50pt C paid nearly $8M has negative value.
Also a slightly better goalie ?

Only a idiot GM would take on that contract.

Is the top 6 center in the room with us right now? All I see is a 50 pt guy with an $8m a year price tag.

If Ullmark was only slightly better than the goalies in Ottawa you wouldn't be a cellar dweller

It's the other way around. Boston makes their goalies better than they actually are.
Swap Korpisalo and Ullmark and there would be minimal change in the current standings.

 

[CanadianHockey]

I think Ullmark is a clear improvement but would likely take a step back behind our team defence compared to his level of play in Boston's system. I think Boston can sell higher than what I'd want Ottawa to pay, and that Ottawa would benefit more from addressing the backend with Norris than roll on yet another goalie.

Ullmark would be the second best goalie Sens ever had in its history.
