Linus Ullmark blocks the possibility of a trade to the Toronto Maple Leafs
The Boston Bruins are reportedly looking to trade Linus Ullmark but the Toronto Maple Leafs won't be in on him.
The Bruins netminder has a 15-team no-trade list and the Maple Leafs are absolutely on that list according to NHL insider David Pagnotta. Interestingly, Pagnotta also revealed that the Ottawa Senators are on his no-trade list. However, he may be open to waiving it if a deal with the team were to materialize. Notably, Ullmark rejected a trade with the LA Kings at the trade deadline this season by refusing to waive his no-trade clause.
Linus Ullmark rumoured to be heading to the Ottawa Senators
This is especially relevant as the Ottawa Senators are rumored to be heavily pursuing Ullmark this offseason. The team has been looking for a new goaltender for some time now and it seems like Ullmark might be their guy.
It would certainly be a sad day for many NHL fans if Ullmark is traded as it would breakup the tandem with Jeremy Swayman. However, it would likely be best for the Bruins as they would be able to reallocate their cap space to boost their skaters. The Senators are rumored to have offered the 7th overall pick in this year's draft as well as defenseman Jakob Chychrun for the goaltender, which is certainly an enticing package.
It seems as though a trade could be imminent so be sure to keep an eye on the Bruins over the coming days to see what happens with Linus Ullmark.
