Proposal: Ullmark to NJ

[wintersej]

All the Markstom talk, which I haven’t been follow closely, makes me wonder what value Ullmark would have to NJD.

He just turned 30 vs Markstom at 34. Million dollar lower cap hit. One year shorter contract.

Bruins could take back VV, but wouldn’t retain.

I’ll start off with Holtz, VV, 2nd.

Wouldn't be until the offseason, and I think the price could be higher to deal within the conference.

The year shorter contract is what likely makes Ullmark (and Saros) off-season moves. Trading those assets with no guarantee of extension isn’t something the Devils should do right now.

Seems like the appeal of Markstrom was the two more years beyond this year.

Devils should just let this year play out, call up Kinkaid or bring in another goalie just to end the year to let Schmid/Daws preserve waiver eligibility, and re-visit goaltending in the off-season.

Makes a lot of sense.

Not a bad deal at all, and seems cheaper than the potential Markstrom deal (Holtz and a 1st was rumored) - I'd do this, you'd probably get a solid 3-4 years out of Ullmark.

Holtz would likely flourish in Boston with a real coach. Might even get something serviceable out of Vanacek, although the goalies have been bailing Boston out a lot, so maybe not lol.

 

[MicronMega]

Fair deal and allows Swayman to take over the net in Boston for the foreseeable future

 

[oldwpgjet]

I don't see Boston doing that. Needs to be upped I'd say. Hischier for Ullmark would be an interesting deal but can't see NJ wanting to pay that much. Maybe they would look at Nemec and a pick for him.

Or what about Hughes? Or maybe both of them?

Not to insult any Bruins fans there is no one on their team we would trade Nemec for....

 

[Sheppy]

Give us Mercer!

Nonsense....goalies just dont have that kind of value.....

Swayman would be a great fit for NJ, but can’t see Boston moving him.

Ya in a vacuum those two are worth it but their cap hits would force Devils to move someone to make room and not be much of a net gain . Yes those two are good but Nemec with his ELC and cost control is crucial right now.

Nemec will be better than McAvoy.

Pasta is great but moving out of his prime inside of 2-3 years. You don’t give up a number 1 RHD for that.

They have value if they're the main thing you need to upgrade to make it to the playoffs.

 

[Forge]

The 2nd has to be 2025, but yeah, I'm fine with that.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

I think Ullmark would cost a little more. Just too many clubs in need of a guy like him both short or long term. OP is fair, just think Boston can pull a clear over payment here.

I think if Nemec ends up being a top 5 Dman in the league most devils fans would be pretty ecstatic

You say it like it’s a sure thing for a guy who’s played half a season lol

 

[A1LeafNation]

Why would Bruins want Vanecek, aren't they trying to contend?

My guess it was just a cap addition, but tbh the devils likely don't need to do that

 

[The don godfather]

Mercer for ullmark please.

Depends. I feel like we talk about how many clubs need goalies and then like no decent goalies get moved.

Teams just rarely trade starting goalies. Boston has 2 clear ones so something needs to give. I fully expect him to move. Teams will know they have a legit chance to add a real starting goalie.

I genuinely forgot we had Kinkaid under contract

While those two are definitely the players you would want I still would not trade Nemec just like if I flipped the script on you you wouldn't trade McAvoy ...Unless they are at odds with the team those players usually don't get traded
