REPORT: Linus Ullmark Blocks Trade to Bottom-Ranked Team
A recent report suggests that Linus Ullmark was almost traded this summer.
The Bruins' Salary Cap Problems
The latest Vezina winner came out of a record-breaking season in the NHL with a salary of only $5M a year; needless to say, the goalie gained attention from all the other teams in the NHL.
With the Bruins looking to drop some contracts, Don Sweeney probably received 31 offers for Ullmark.
This is what insider Ty Anderson talked about on 98.5 The Sports Hub:
Teams knew the Bruins needed to drop money somewhere, and they were eager to take advantage of them when they had the chance.
Ullmark Refused a Trade?
According to Anderson, the Bruins probably received a good offer for Ullmark, but the goalie would have needed to waive his no-trade clause.
The alleged return would have been fair, but Ullmark refused to waive his clause! We guess it's because he didn't want to play for that particular team, likely a bottom-ranked organization.
If you ask us, the Bruins made the right decision by keeping him, as they'll stay competitive as long as they have a top goalie.
