this was true in the past, but not anymore. Our defensive structure has kinda collapsed this season, the goalies has been the reasoning we're winning games more times then not.
Pinto and a 1rst , plus a top prospect maybe gets you Ullmark
Depends on what you mean by "right in the playoff mix". Even if they win all their games in hand, they'd still be 10 points behind the last wild card seed in the Conference. I haven't seen the rest of the team play well enough on a consistent enough basis to close that gap plus we'd need a significant amount of cooperation (losing) from a bunch of conference teams to get there as well. Even when we went on that decent winning stretch of 8 - 2 - 2, we still only managed to leap frog one team (Columbus).
Ottawa is not giving up Pinto, a first, and a prospect, what the hell are you on
Ha ha, well if that is the price we will look for another goalie and I believe 30 other teams says the same!
Respectfully I disagre. First of all there is a wide gap between the career stats of Ullmark and Korpisalo, easy to look up if you doubt me.
This is such a tired argument. This is has been the story since Tim Thomas. The goalies were never as good as the stats show because of Boston’s system or d core. That’s two gm’s and three coaches at least at this point
That's a big no.
You’re right Ullmark is wildly more valuable. I love that Bruins fans are stat watchers describing our goalie. Maybe we know what he is and can attest to what he would bring to the Sens. As has been pointed out he was still great with the Sabres who weren’t exactly world beaters. You’re obviously allowed to oppose a trade or trade target and Ullmark being on his last year is a valid concern. You don’t need to add in the homerism. I guess I could say Norris would never put up big points again playing in a defensive system compared to what he did in his big offensive season.
Easy cowboy. I think Ullmark is very underrated on the boards to but this is way too much
I like your take man. Who knows how good Norris would be in Boston but I personally believe he will be better in the future than this season wherever he plays if he stays healthy!
Hey if Boston had confidence that Norris will bounce back as a 40ish goal guys sure but that's a huge contract to get just another 2nd line center with some injury history.
Ah I see.
Yeah I would be surprised if he wins the vezina this season but I would be more surprised if he ever won the Norris!
Lol OK have fun wasting this year with no top 6 centers and a goalie who is gonna sit on the bench who you're gonna have to dump anyway.
No that's atrocious for Ottawa.
Trading the current Vezina holder to a team in their own division is certainly not worth a high 1st. <Sarcasm font>
Goal is to win the cup when they're this close they should be trying to make it happen. If I am a Boston fan I wanna deal Ullmark for a top 6 center. Maybe you don't think Norris is the right fit that's fine but you're wasting Ullmark on the bench and the cap. Other than Florida the east sucks. How many more years of prime Marchand are left?
It's only a matter of time before Toronto finally beats us in the playoffs. The "even a broken clock is right twice daily" law of averages is going to catch up to us. They beat TB last year, Matthews is having a career year this year. Running into Florida again will be a monumental task, I'd rather have Sway-mark in goal than only one and a shaky backup
