When a team has no confidence in a goalie they play differently, it’s a fact. Ullmark is what he is but what I’d like to know is, who did the scouting on this guy last summer and did they just look at the numbers and not the body of work? Give Linus a break, he has not played too badly and is better then folks give him credit for. He stood on his head last year for a garbage Sabres team and if he had not they would have finished last overall guaranteed. I think his issues we have seen are workable and will get ironed out with Essensa. I would bring in Rask as another goalie coach to work with the two pro goalies while Essensa could float amoung the entire organization. Swayman has definitely established himself as the starter, however, Ullmark is a very capable 1B goalie.

I hope you’re right, we have him 4 more years at 5 million per so we need him to be successful.

I hope you’re right, we have him 4 more years at 5 million per so we need him to be successful. I dont disagree with either of you BUT I feel more as KJC feels..My point is this:: Last season, Vladar and Swayman both looked NHL ready albeit Sway was better..Why didnt they just start season with Vladar and Swayman until Rask was ready to play!! Of course it turned out that all the Bruins actually needed was a cheap back up to Swayman..WHY did Sweeney/Neely feel the Bruins needed to sign a Number 1 goaltender for 4 years 20 million??? Yes, Ullmark has done a respectable job in Boston and he just might get better but NOT AT 5 million a season!!! Very amateur move in my opinion!! Ullmark and Swayman seem to have a great working relationship but the salaries are mixed up..When Swaymans ELC runs out, what then?? It'll cost the Bruins 5 million for Ullmark and whatever Swayman asking price is..If not a problem now, it will be down the road!! Take away Ullmarks salary and I love the duel of Linus and Swayman..My issue is with DS not Ullmark!!

TSN on 23-year-old Kirill Kaprizov last year: Too old to win the Calder
TSN on 26-year-old Michael Bunting this year: Literally campaigning for him to win the Calder
Funny how TSN stops caring about changing the Calder criteria when a Leafs player is a candidate

Shesterkin is 26 as well, does he qualify as a rookie? He’d be my pick as rookie of the year.

Would you be upset if Sweeney sold the farm for a Cup for Bergy In a vacuum and you’re saying we get a cup then yes but In reality where I think we’re about 7th or 8th out of 16 playoff teams and maybe we move up to 4th with some help I’d say no. Add Giroux, Chychrun, Middleton and I’d be getting excited.

You’re about to sign on the dotted line of your NHL contract…
You just need to pick three teams you can’t be traded to. Who you choosing?

I know everyone who makes the playoffs has a chance but that doesn’t make you a legit contender. Our #1 goalie is a rookie. I really like him but this is uncharted territory for him. Our D has 1 all star, Grz is a quick skater and puck mover but too small. Everyone else has their warts and probably on a third pairing on most team. Our Hall of Fameer #1 Center is 36 and we don’t really have a 2nd line center. Our third line is okay and our fourth line is below average. If I’m the GM I can’t fill all those holes and half doing it is a total waste of time.

Sweeney showing interest in Columbus Blue Jackets forward Max Domi and Winnipeg Jets forward Andrew Copp.
There was also plenty of NHL Trade chatter on what the Bruins may still do with winger Jake DeBrusk? Could he be dealt in a deal for Domi or Copp?
