Coconuts Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Makes sense to sell high if Swayman is their guy, they'd get a good return for a recent Vezina winner and free up cap space to allocate elsewhere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you havent looked into his stats yet, I strongly suggest doing so. I was preaching about this guy back in like November/Early December? He is thee dman to acquire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but given Boston's weaker prospect pool they'd be wise to also look to the future Swayman is a quality tender, he's also a pending RFA after this season whereas Ullmark has a season remaining on his deal and he'll be 31 in July Moving out Ullmark is actually the smartest move, it frees up immediate cap space for Swayman's extension and returns assets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo5789 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Ullmark to LA makes sense. They probably want to solidify their goaltending and could move someone back like Talbot or Rittich as a backup for Swayman. Plus gets him out of conference.

Could being up DiPietro as @AnthonyG mentioned, or take a tender back in return A tender on an expiring deal, or who has a cap hit small enough to be buried, would work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea its definitely risky, but in terms of cap savings* they could still maybe acquire 1 more depth player. Otherwise yea they go get an NHL back up, but its gunna cost a couple mil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
