Bruins Linus Ullmark blocked another trade
There are reports of Boston Bruins netminder, Linus Ullmark swiftly striking down more trades.
Other destinations Ullmark turned down in addition to a move that would have sent him to Los Angeles now include the Colorado Avalanche.
However, there's another destination that New Jersey Devils GM, Tom Fitzgerald reported to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Citizen that Linus Ullmark also nixed a trade that would have sent him to New Jersey.
It appears, that Ullmark refused to modify his 15 team NTC, which seems that the Devils were apart of:
«The [Ottawa] Senators, Los Angeles Kings, and New Jersey Devils were among several teams that made a push for the 30-year-old Ullmark before the deadline. The indications are Ullmark refused to change his 15-team no-trade list, which meant a possible deal to the Devils was scuttled.»
It seems likely that Ullmark will be on the move soon with Jeremy Swayman's ascendacy into the starting spot for the Bruins. .
Swayman, who signed a $3.475 Million contract last July, will find himself in RFA status this year. Swayman could find himself in the full-starting role during the 2024-2025 season, while the Bruins hunt for a veteran backup.
However, with his 15-team NTC, Ullmark will ultimately decide where he is destined to land next. Don Sweeney mentioned how the team would like to keep the dynamic duo, of Ullmark and Swayman together, but Ullmark desires a starting role, which he's unlikely to find in Boston.
If he keeps axing trades, where will he end up playing?
