NHL trade grades: Did the Bruins get enough back for Linus Ullmark?

NHL trade grades: Did the Bruins get enough back for Linus Ullmark?

With a relative dearth of top-flight goaltending options available in free agency this offseason, the NHL goaltending carousel has been spinning with trades.

Last Wednesday, Jacob Markstrom was dealt to the New Jersey Devils and Darcy Kuemper landed with the Los Angeles Kings.

On Monday, the Boston Bruins finally found an answer regarding Linus Ullmark‘s future, and they did it just before the start of Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final.

Boston traded Ullmark to the Ottawa Senators for Joonas Korpisalo, Mark Kastelic and a 2024 first-round pick. The Senators agreed to retain 25%, or $1 million a season, of Korpisalo’s contract, which has four more years remaining.
