PLD?

 

[BringTheReign]

Is this the deal that was nixed by Ullmark or a pivot deal that ran out of time after the first deal with another team was nixed by Ullmark?

We may never know.

 

[dire wolf]

Would love to know what the return was. Interesting

 

[NYR94]

For Dubois?

I read it was by Ullmark due to geography. I would have to assume he is looking to stay on the East Coast.

Faster flights home? Being rich in LA is pretty great, surprised they couldn’t sell him on it.

 

[Faterson]

Talbot & "Big Save[not Sieve]/Dick" Rittich can do it for the Kings, I'm sure.

 

[KovalchukFistPump]

Good, I hope the Devils are in on him.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Surprised Blake was even awake for this

He should buy a new atlas, then, or update Google Maps on his phone.

 

[Jozay]

Kings fans wouldve been in heaven if it was PLD for Ullmark lol

 

[Forge]

Good, I hope the Devils are in on him.

We will see in the summer, but Jimmy Murphy (not exactly reputable, but whatever) said the devils went in on him earlier today, I think

 

[Vitto79]

Have Rangers said they are done ?

The deadline was 3pm eastern time so yes.

Eklund reported "Ullmark to Kings (e3)" a couple of hours before the deadline, so I imagine that it's the deal that fell through. Also, the stated reason of "geography" does make a little sense, since Boston and LA are almost as far away from each other as two teams can be.

 

[JKG33]

f*** me

 

[Telos]

I doubt PLD was in play. Ultimately, this is good. I think most LA fans didn't want Blake to make a desperate move while his neck was in the noose. There is no rental deal that is going to severely change or alter how this postseason goes for better or worse. There really was no need to burn high picks or young players/prospects on a job saving prayer.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

The deadline was 3pm eastern time so yes.

Things are still being reported based on trades that were submitted prior to 3pm.

 

[McGarnagle]

If for PLD, thank you Linus

If for Kempe, **** you Linus

For sure. He played in Buffalo before Boston so sounds like he wants to keep his family in that general area. That is what I assume anyways.

 

[KingsCourt]

Ah, well the new GM will fix it ..lol

 

[David Lunch]

I can't speak for the Bruins needs, but from knowing the Kings well I can assume Kaliyev would have been part of the deal, one of Talbot or Rittich (just for a positional swap) and potentially Matt Roy and/or the Kings' 1st round pick in this or next years draft.

 

[Nasti]

Are the Bruins not aware of the NTC? Why would they even negotiate with a team that’s on the list?

 

[Lt Dan]

f*** me

only if you'll buy me dinner and a pony first
