Despite the Boston Bruins leading the Atlantic Division with an impressive 11-1-2 record, goaltender Linus Ullmark's name has been swirling in trade rumors, notably linked to the struggling Edmonton Oilers. However, insiders suggest that, for now, a Ullmark trade seems unlikely.
According to discussions with anonymous NHL executives, the sentiment is clear. One executive emphasized,
«Right now, I'd say Ullmark's not going anywhere. Why the hell would Donny mess with what he's got going on there with Ullmark and Swayman? They are the biggest reason for their amazing start.»
Addressing a tweet from NHL analyst John Buccigross proposing a trade, another source dismissed it as "pure clickbait," highlighting the unlikely prospect of Ullmark leaving given his contentment in Boston.
The source concluded,
«How many people are happy getting traded to Edmonton, especially right now?» Coupled with the Oilers' tight cap space, the consensus is that a Ullmark move is currently off the table.
