Seravalli: Ullmark to Kings fell through

[BLNY]

PLD = $8.5 million
Talbot = $1 million

Ullmark = $5 million

That's a net increase of $4.5 million for the Bruins. They have less than $100k in space and less than $2 million in LTIR. Not sure how they swing that without sending at least Debrusk back and I can't see LA retaining on PLD for 7 years.

ahhhh yes here comes the boot licker's damage control

nuh uh blake hasn't failed, has not has not has not

Thats not what you said about @RangerBoy in dms, smh

Have a hard time believing boston would target dubois on that type of contract

 

[CheerstoBeers]

I didn't read through this entire thread but I've read it was potentially Matt Roy and a 1st coming back from Ullmark.

 

[McSuper]

Dubois to Boston rumours lol what a time to be alive. This guy will play in Switzerland in two years.

Why ? He got a retirement contract from the Kings and they sure the hell aren't buying him out to be stuck with a 14 year buy out penalty.

Yeah, it seems suspicious to claim Seravalli is lying. He’s not Eklund.

 

[wintersej]

Roy is not a "dump". He's a good defenseman and the one piece I wish Blake would have traded for futures since there is zero chance we have cap to sign him after this season, but alas. Blake gonna Blake.

Well yeah, that's what the quotes are for. But, for a team with McAvoy and Carlo on the right side, its not full value.

I just assumed it was gonna be Ullmark + DeBrusk for PLD.

 

[Legion34]

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

Taxes.

 

[wintersej]

Taxes.

I mean he is currently in taxachusetts that just passed a 4% millionaires tax on top of their regular taxes.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Well.. to be fair PLD played his best game as an LA King last night.

Maybe Boston saw that.

 

[bleedgreen]

I love how some people think the bruins would trade a good goalie for pld. Nobody would trade someone good for that guy.

 

[wintersej]

So I guess Ullmark rejected a different trade and LA and Boston separately didn’t cross the finish line? Spitballing, wonder if it was Ottawa.

 

[bland]

Why ? He got a retirement contract from the Kings and they sure the hell aren't buying him out to be stuck with a 14 year buy out penalty.

Have you seen the buyout numbers? It would be irresponsible to NOT buy him out this summer. They would save over $40 million and a ton of cap space.

My guess is anywhere west of the Mississippi and north of the Great Lakes.

 

[fsanford]

Thank God it fell through as Kings would have overpaid

 

[Hobble]

Please let PLD have been involved and shut it down due to a NTC/NMC.

 

[TheBeard]

Why exactly would Boston want to split up their goaltending duo? Did they not learn last year against Florida what happens if you put all your eggs in a single starter's basket?

 

[kilowatt]

Was Dubois confirmed? I wonder if it was actually for Danault?

Probably going after a center

Thank goodness linus is a bruin. Yuck that's crap deal.

 

[EpochLink]

Since Willie Mitchell.

Willie Mitchell is currently hiding somewhere.

LA is a dump now unless you are wealthy, and even if I was wealthy why would I live in a city that is literally crumpling by the day(I really do know since I live in LA!)?

For the most part the players only work in LA as very few live in LA. But the beach areas they live in are absolutely beautiful and a great place to live.

I live here too and it's pretty beautiful

 

[Seattle King]

I'm trying to think of the last time a GOOD organization traded away several valuable assets for a questionable one that was then feted to a massive retirement contract, only to want to desperately trade away that asset 9 months later, only to have that deal nixed by the guy you were trying to trade for.

It reminds me a lot of Russell Wilson and Denver though. Not a good look.

 

[Oddbob]

Why the heck is anyone thinking PLD was part of the package? MASSIVE CAP DUMP right now, vs a goalie who is actually wanted by numerous teams.
