Blockbuster Goalie Trade Rumoured to be in the Works Between Two Cup Favourites
It looks like we could see a blockbuster trade happen this season between two top Stanley Cup contenders.
Bruins to Trade Top Goalie for Offensive Depth?
The Boston Bruins have been exploring the idea of trading Linus Ullmark since last season. After a record-breaking season and a Vezina Trophy, Ullmark showed that he's among the elite in the NHL.
The Bruins could decide to trade him for a considerable return.
With Jeremy Swayman, potentially as good as Ullmark, the Bruins could afford to trade Ullmark to get more offensive depth.
A particular team certainly seems to need a top goalie and has a surplus of forwards: the Los Angeles Kings, who seem to be only a top goalie away from being one of the top teams in the Western Conference.
Kings Are Only One Goalie Away From Becoming a Top Team
With Pierre-Luc Dubois' addition, they have huge depth at the center position. They could decide to part ways with a player like Phillip Danault.
Danault always brings a great defensive game to his team, a bit like Patrice Bergeron used to do.
He would fill a huge hole in the Bruins' lineup if he were traded there.
Not only would they still have a top goalie with Swayman, they would get back a top center who plays well defensively.
This trade makes sense, and don't be surprised if a move similar to this one happens in the near future.
