Confirmed Signing with Link: [BOS] Linus Ullmark has signed with Boston (4 years, $5M AAV)

[Bridges31]

The Boston Sabres

 

[Sabreality]

Ullmark could be an all-star in Boston.

 

[Dr Quincy]

BTW Rask made it clear... it's Boston or Finland or retirement in Finland.

 

[Royal Thunder]

Ullmark will be talked about as one of the best goalies in the world in a years time

He's good, but easy.....

 

[Jon77]

I guess Boston has things really sauered with Rask.

That went down hill fast ....

No, he is had surgery. Need a goalie. Rask may just retire or comeback in time for playoffs (Tampa bay style)

 

[bossram]

Hip surgery just yesterday, going to be out until at least January.

Gotta plan for if things don't work out, and if they do B's can Kucherov Rask into the playoffs.

I'd assume they just sign him after his surgery, stash him for the stretch run/depth.

 

[613Leafer]

Oof. Options for Colorado are very thin now.

Trade for Driedger?

 

[Montecristo]

Don't they have to sign Krejci?

gonna have to be for under 5

 

[Coach Parker]

Its Colorado Ullmark is my nieghbour and Peter Forsberg was just there and gave Linus a big hug on his backyard

So Forsberg is a big Bruins fan then?

 

[Brodeur]

So Rask is done? Retiring?

Just had hip surgery, probably won't get cleared to play until early 2022. I'd wager on him signing a cheap 1 year deal with Boston once he's good to go.

 

[not a troll]

Oof. Options for Colorado are very thin now.

Trade for Driedger?

They need a starter not a 1B.

Vanecek maybe?

Apparently Here in Jarved anything goes

 

[BruinsBtn]

Sweeney is splashing it around today!

 

[JoemAvs]

They need a starter not a 1B.

They aren't getting a perfect solution at this point.
Kuemper might be the closest thing to a starter that they could get but he has injury issues, will probably cost too much and is only a 1 year solution most likely.

Will be interesting to see what Sakic does at this point. I honestly would try to look for a young, talented goalie that is stuck somewhere (maybe now that Ullmark is in Boston one of Vladar/Swayman or somebody similar) and see how they do behind a great defense in Denver. If they fail, the Avs can always revisit things at the deadline. If Francouz is healthy, he should be decent enough to atleast get this team to the playoffs in the Central.

 

[DickSmehlik]

Ullmark and Rask can swap places on IR.

 

[McShogun99]

Boston with a really good off-season so far. Now they just need to resign Krejki.

 

[Dr Danglefest]

So what do the Bruins want for one of Swayman (preferably him) or Vladar?

I might know somebody who could be interested...

I would imagine despite the flier on Ullmark that Swayman is still the Bruins Goalie of the future, Vladar would be the guy they sell especially considering he has to pass through waivers and Swayman doesn’t

 

[MMC]

 

[TT1]

imagine paying a 30-40 game goalie 5M a year

 

[cyris]

Great signing by Boston. A lot of people don’t realize how good he is because he has been stuck on a terrible team.

 

[Gurglesons]

meh. Seems like a lot.

 

[StrictlyCommercial]

That's an expensive $20 million flyer.

 

[Bourdon]

I think Boston did this because Rask is done. Will retire after his hip is recovered.
