Linus Ullmark was reportedly nearly traded at the trade deadline this past year but declined it because of his NTC and has just commented on the possibility again.
The Boston Bruins are bursting with wealth at the goaltending position. Between Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark, the pair is stellar night in and night out for the Bruins. With both being so good, it is only logical that the Bruins have considered shopping one of them in favor of better pieces up front.
Ullmark was reportedly almost traded at the trade deadline this past season but that fell through as he rejected the trade because the Bruins were trying to trade him to a team on his no-trade list.
Today, he commented on the possibility of being traded this offseason.
I asked Ullmark about his no-trade and if he would exercise right this summer. Said the teams that are on his list are on there for a reason, and he doesn't want to disclose reasons why. Says it's between himself, his family, and agent.
Ullmark then went on to add how he wanted to return to Boston next year.
Linus Ullmark wants to return. Feels like he'll be on a «revenge tour.»
Ullmark has a 15-team no-trade list and will be able to be moved to just about half of the NHL if he does get traded.
Only time will tell whether or not Ullmark gets moved but with Jeremy Swayman taking another step this past year, the Swedish netminder may be on his way out.
