NHL 2023-2024: Conference Finals. Stars/Oilers and Rangers/Panthers

The Bs would have to throw in a few 1st round draft picks for that to make sense. I’m Leary of any team going after Ullmark, lest they get “Sabres” Ullmark. I’m still not sure if he’s really as good as he’s been in a Boston uniform.

I thought Sabres Ullmark was still a pretty good goalie. The problem was the Sabres part.
At least that’s what we were sold.

Not for nothing but he’s been outstanding in his three years here including last year’s Vezina.

For that trade to make sense for GM Ken Holland, Boston could offer Ullmark, Jake DeBrusk, and a first for Draisaitl, and Holland would sign that faster than you can say, "hey, aren't the Red Wings still paying off that 7-year deal he gave Justin Abdelkader?"

I think this season is Ken Holland's last season with the Oilers and I think, behind the scenes, there's been a bit of a power shift in Oilers management, so I don't think Holland gets to be the one that makes the desperate trade for a more proven goalie if the Oilers can't get over the hump and win the cup.

Holland is done this summer, and plans to allegedly retire. No way executive mgmt lets him make any big deals.

Any trade for a goalie is going to include Campbell going the other way. Or dumped to a team looking to get to the cap floor, if there's even any of those left with Arizona moving to Utah. Boston can't afford to take salary dump contracts. Also, they don't have the rights to Jake DeBrusk. If the Oil want him, they'll just sign him in July which i sure fucking hope they don't. He's going to get a contract he can't possibly live up to.

Well, they'll $21m open, plus another $5m if the can move Ullmark, but no way they're taking Goalie money back.

He's a streaky player, and I do like him, but you're right. How I feel about him will come down to the contract. I think he's gone because someone will take the cheese on him. To be fair, he played the last half season with a broken hand, and played pretty decent in the playoffs.

I’m seeing some ridiculously ludicrous suggestions of a Marner trade. It’s all conjecture at this point, but some of the shit YT “influencers” / hockey channels / sports beat writers toss out there is beyond laughable.

Ah the interwebs.

Glad the Oilers took that game. Both CF’s are looking to be really good.
