This former Sabre is expected to have a big trade market this summer.
Former Buffalo Sabres star goalie Linus Ullmark is expected to be traded by the Boston Bruins this offseason. Fellow star Jeremy Swayman officially earned the crease during the Bruins' postseason run, making Ullmark expendable.
In addition, Ullmark also reportedly blocked a trade to a club on his no-trade list before the deadline passed.
Given the fact that Ullmark is a star goalie with a Vezina Trophy on his resume, he is expected to have plenty of suitors this offseason. The Fourth Period listed the Los Angeles Kings, Edmonton Oilers, Toronto Maple Leafs, New Jersey Devils, Detroit Red Wings, and San Jose Sharks as teams looking for a starting goalie this summer who could target Ullmark.
The big obstacle in a potential Ullmark trade is his 15-team no-trade list for the 2024-25 season. As a result, the Bruins could run into issues if the clubs that target him are teams he does not wish to play for.
Regardless, this will be a big storyline to follow this summer. Ullmark will be one of the NHL's top trade candidates, and it will be intriguing to see if and where the former Sabres goalie gets traded from here.
