Another goaltending sweepstakes is over, as the Ottawa Senators acquired Linus Ullmark from the Boston Bruins for Joonas Korpisalo, a first-round pick and Mark Kastelic.

The Ottawa Senators and Boston Bruins made a big move right before Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final.

The Senators acquired goaltender Linus Ullmark from the Bruins in exchange for forward Mark Kastelic, goalie Joonas Korpisalo and the 25th-overall pick in this week's NHL draft.

Ottawa will retain 25 percent of Korpisalo's $4-million cap hit for the final four years of his five-year contract signed at the beginning of last year's free agency period.

Ullmark, 30, is one year removed from winning the Vezina Trophy as the NHL's top netminder and the William M. Jennings trophy for being a goalie with at least 25 games played on the team with the lowest goals-against average. In 2023-24, he had a 22-10-7 record with a 2.57 goals-against average and .915 save percentage in 40 games. He appeared in two games during the playoffs and had a 3.90 goals-against average and .886 save percentage with one recorded loss.

Korpisalo, 30, spent eight seasons with the Columbus Blue Jackets before being traded to the Los Angeles Kings before the 2023 trade deadline and signing with Ottawa. This season, he played 55 games and had a 21-26-4 record with a 3.27 goals-against average and .890 save percentage.

Kastelic, meanwhile, is a 6-foot-4, 226-pound center playing fourth-line minutes. He averaged the most hits per 60 minutes of any Senators player with at least half a season played at 15.53, and he recorded five goals and five assists for 10 points in 63 games played.

Ullmark was one of the top goaltenders rumored to be available on the trade market, especially so after the New Jersey Devils acquired Jacob Markstrom from the Calgary Flames for a top-10 protected 2025 first-round pick and defenseman Kevin Bahl on June 19. The 6-foot-4, 213-pound Swede had been one part of an elite tandem with 25-year-old Jeremy Swayman for the past three seasons, being known for their big hugs after wins.

As Ullmark joins the Senators, he has one year remaining on a four-year deal worth $5 million per season with a modified no trade clause. That leaves Ottawa with about $10.526 million in cap space with 17 of 23 roster spots filled, according to PuckPedia. They have four pending RFAs, including center Shane Pinto and defenseman Erik Brannstrom.

It's a significant move by GM-president of hockey operations Steve Staios, who joined the Senators before the beginning of this past season. The Senators finished 13 points out of a playoff spot after being six points out in 2022-23, and they allowed the fifth-most goals against in the NHL.

Boston, meanwhile, gains $1.165 million in cap space with the deal to have about $25 million in cap space with 16 of 23 roster spots filled. Forwards Jake DeBrusk and Jake van Riemsdyk and defensemen Matt Grzelcyk and Kevin Shattenkirk are among eight pending UFAs, while Swayman is an RFA. They also get back their first-round pick that they originally traded away to get Tyler Bertuzzi last year, which is their only selection in the first three rounds at the moment.

The Bruins finished second in the Atlantic Division behind the Florida Panthers after a record-setting 2022-23 season in points and wins, and although they got past the Toronto Maple Leafs in seven games to kick off their playoff run, they fell to Florida in the second round.

With further analysis of the deal, here's Jacob Stoller, who sees it as a good move for both sides with some context:
