Oh come on. Nobody’s being a tough guy. IMO that is a truly horrible trade proposal. Better?Easy there tough guy

We all know this but getting out of the Hall contract and dumping grzy would have been a sizable amount of money and you ended up with the sludge at the bottom of the tank. Wouldn’t you rather see them give Lysell or Merkalov a real look?No, they based it on the fact that they had little cap space and while not ideal for a 1-2, they'd have to make it work for at least a season
Agree in general and if using logic in a vacuum.They need to move Ullmark for a couple of reasons. To free up the money to pay Swayman, because it’s Swayman’s net now, and to upgrade the roster.
However, other teams know that the Bruins need to move him, and they can also get him in free agency without spending an asset in a trade if they just wait a year.
I agree he has to go, but I think many will be disappointed with the return they get.
Florida scored 6 PP goals in 2 games when so-called PK specialist Forbort was in the lineup.
Why would Ullmark not go to Edmonton does he prefer not to go west ,Canadian team?Agree in general and if using logic in a vacuum.
But, teams have “windows” and expectations. GM’s can be impulsive and aggressive and depending on the circumstances can make moves that may nit make sense to anyone other than them.
Take Edmonton (and I know Ullmark won’t waive to go there, this is just an example) if the lose this series and are worried about losing Draisaitl, maybe the overpay a bit to get the goaltender they need to make a run.
I think they can get a 1 and a little more or a o lug and play 2nd liner for him.
But that’s just my recently punched gut talking.
I'm not sure but I'm certain that right after we got this 1C for Ullmark that we'd be hearing that he was actually a 3C or a declining 2C and in reality that would probably be true.What 1C do you see them getting for Ullmark?

I actually thought the play-by-play guy (Jack Michaels, I think) was good. Gary Galley I could do without, however. No idea why they don’t use Rick Ball or John Shorthouse in the playoffs, however. They are my favourites in the current crop.I don't get NESN during the playoffs
..just Canadian announcers who are mostly glad when/if the Bruins lose
IDK, I’ve just read on here many times that he’d be unlikely to waive for them.
It’s just one of these things I’ve just assumed was true.
But….you're right, we don’t really know

Don, teams know the bruins need to deal Ullmark and could just wait a year for FA possibly as well, not giving up an asset at allDonny gets A plus to retooling this team on the fly. Honestly we should be in the dark ages after chara bergy rask dk left. Under his watch McAvoy lindholm zacha jake Frederic carlo linus swayman Coyle. Now with new additions poitras and lohrei in the fold . Team will be contending for years especially now with all that cap space and a massive trade chip like linus who can get you a top center or top draft pick. Donny best in the business in my opinion .

Forbort played two games before being thrown in to this dumpster fitness. Don’t blame it all on him.
Zero it ain’t happening. Their only route is free agencyWhat 1C do you see them getting for Ullmark?
Lots of pressure for teams to win now. Kings canes leafs and they looking for elite goalies ( very few out there). Donny has this in the bag.Don, teams know the bruins need to deal Ullmark and could just wait a year for FA possibly as well, not giving up an asset at all
Manage your expectations
I'm glad he had a good playoffs, just hope another team offers him stupid money and they let him walk.Hes going to re-sign.
He more than proved his worth.
Marner? Leafs need a goalie bad. Only thing is 11 million for that guy woof. Pld too but hes cap sucks.Zero it ain’t happening. Their only route is free agency
And get rid of the 1 player that plays with any real emotion? That would be a hard NO! He's more than earned the right to retire wearing the Black n Gold!
Why would we want a soft player that disappears in the playoffs and they aren’t trading Ullmark to the Leafs.Marner? Leafs need a goalie bad. Only thing is 11 million for that guy woof. Pld too but hes cap sucks.
