Let's Talk: Linus Ullmark To The Ottawa Senators? 

How do we feel about a potential deal, Sens army?

Ullmark is a absolute stud your lucky if your the team to get him

Best breakdown of this that I’ve seen in the internet, on either side. Well done Sir.

Seems like it's gonna happen, but Garrioch said the Sens are also linked to Gibson, who I'm a big fan of. So tbh I'd be happy with either one, but Ullmark seems like the likely option. As long as we don't give up too much and get him under extension I have no problem with it.

Another benefit from having Linus is he's a good man so he won't be involved in any off-ice issues AND he hates warm weather so he won't be tempted to leave for warmer pastures.

Ottawa goes through a lot of goalies, why is that?

as a Bruins fan, Ullmark is generally a solid goalie. I def believe the Bruins team defense contributes to his great stats...he's also had some nightmare playoff games

Should Ottawa spend a first in such a deep draft? Can't we give our 2 seconds instead? That 39th overall will be similar to a late 1st in most years

Swayman was not “equally” impressive. He won the job because he played better. Ullmark is very good. Swayman can be great.

Ullmark would be a nice upgrade, but I have concerns 1. I hope we don't have to overpay 2. I hope they have an extension in place 3. We need a way to move one of our current goalies without giving up a lot of assets 4. Most importantly, we need to play better team D, or else, even the best goalie in the world won't make that big of a difference

Agree with all your points. Just get this one done, no matter what. Mine is not a statement of desperation fueled by emotion, it's just common sense. I went to Boston in February and watched him play against the Kings(DJ was behind the bench, Talbot was the backup, go figure). He was fantastic. The game could have been his, but Brant Clarke bolted out of the box unchecked and, in OT, got one past Ullmark for his first NHL goal. It happens. The rest of the game, he was in position the entire time. You covered all the points very well. You posted the stats that needed to be posted. You brought up the metrics...this really is a no brainer. But you also brought up a good point, the B's are under a little bit of pressure, so Staios can perhaps wait them out for a slightly better exchange. Doesn't hurt to try. I will feel really good about next year if we can finalize this. GSG!

Boston doesnt want chychrun. He is garbage in his own zone. With a mighty minus 30 on the season. No thanks

Would love a goalie Jersey this guy might do it

Hello from Halifax N.S. Hello fellow Canadian ;) I would agree 100% with your key points. I've read and heard what you have. Only thing I read different was.. Bs don't want Forsberg on the return because they want to play young Goalie Bussi as backup. I heard it's the term for Ully that's holding it up. But who knows. I am a Bruins fan, so to get Chychrun would be great. It would help both teams. And even though I'm a Bs fan, I like the Sens, don't mind the Oilers and Vancouver as my favorite Canadian teams. So I'd like to see the Sens do well. Just not the Leafs, fak them 🤣🤣 But thanks for the vid.

Ullmark would definitely improve the Sens chances of making the playoffs for the next 5-6 years. The price will be a premium though, if you want a player of this caliber, especially now that Detroit and Vegas and possibly a couple other teams have started talking with the Bruins about Ullmark.

bring in ulmark

I usually agree with all the stuff you say here but not today. Craig Anderson is HIGHLY overrated here in Ottawa. In his 10 seasons with the Sens, they ended their annual playoff birth with average goaltending. Remember 1 run to the playoffs (Hamburglar run) was achieved despite his under average play of the first half of the season. Sens made it to the 3rd round because Chris Neil saved them in 2017…not Anderson. Anderson let in 1 of the softest goals in Sens history in double OT to clinch a SC chance in 2017. Absolutely overrated but something I’ve noticed with this city…especially Sens fans is that we celebrate mediocrity, it’s disgusting and if you don’t believe me, check that Ring of Honour, check DJ Smirh, check with Dorion. Extensions after extensions for mediocrity to basement seasons. If Ullmark comes to Ottawa, he will be the best since Ray Emery and if not him, Hasek (oh my groin), and if not him Lalime. I say Lalime.

It's sounds like Bruins are looking to fleece the Sens. At this point I'd rather just stick with what we have and be patient. We've been fleeced too much the last few years.

A savior in goal is a bit thick. They need team defense. Part of that is a capable goal keeper. Love the show!

Bruins fan here...Ullmark and Swayman r the best tandem in NHL and id love it if Bruins could keep both him and Swayman cuz theyre great together but its really not feasible to have 2 goalies both making 5+ million a year on ur cap so sadly ones guna have to move on and that guy is guna be Ullmark!? It sucks but its part of the sport!? Whoever gets Ullmark tho is probably guna have to pay up for him!? Ullmark should command a trade equal to or better than what calgary got for markstrom!? If Calgary can get a 1st round pick and a good D man then Bruins should be able to get the same kinda value or better for ullmark cuz ullmark clearly had been much better than markstrom has been!? So they should get a better haul than calgary did with markstrom!!? The Bruins dont need to trade ullmark right away tho but i for see a trade happening b4 draft most likely!? A 1st round pick and chychrun and maybe something else could be ok!? Bruins do need a left shit D man so chychrun would be good!? Ideally id love to see Bruins bring in Elias Lindholm, thatd take care of their biggest need...a #1 center!? Necas would fill their need for a top 6 scoring winger, and chychrun would fill their need for a left shot D man!? Plus chychrun is pretty good offensively tor a D mam which bruins could use!? Bruins really need some more backend scoring and i wish theyd shoot more often from out high and look for more tips and stuff!? To me it just seems like they dont do it near as much as other teams and other teams have lots of success with it!?

If the 5y, $35m ($7 per) extension rumour is true, that’s $11m per year on goalies (including Korpi’s $4). That’s ridiculous. Would probably put us top 5 in the league for how much money is spent on goalies. But our goaltending would still be middle of the pack. 👎 Chychrun and the 25th overall is pretty steep for a 30yo goalie that would come with a brutal contract. Markstrom is arguably a better goalie, or let’s even say equal to Ullmark. But he landed a future first and a random throw in. I understand there’s an extension involved which can change trade value. But it’s still a lot for Ullmark IMO. But alas, Ottawa is in a desperate position, and other teams will take advantage of us. Staios has little leverage.

My prediction is Stevie Y and the Red Wings pull the rug out from under us on this one. Last minute disappointment incoming

This is one of the most informative videos you’ve made. I’m starting to lean to the trade. I was never against it. I just thought that it would never happen.

It doesn’t seem to matter what goalie we get. Once they get here they suck. Hopefully things change.

If Sens move Chicky then a top 4 RD better be coming back, can’t make our defence even worse and expect any goalie to be good in Ottawa. We’ve done this for years now…FIX THE DEFENCE

Hopefully Ullmark works here. Go Oilers and go senators keep the cup in Canada.

will be happy if it happens, but how many times have we seen a rumour come to nothing... Whats going on with the flyers too?

Lifelong Bruins fan. I’ve heard rumors that the deal does not include Ulmark. The deal is Swayman for both of Ottawas 1st round picks.
