This video could be about 3 different trades

People acting like Ullmark was a product of Boston's system is hilarious considering he had averaged .912 in fucking Buffalo

Ullmark deserves to be a number 1 goaltender somewhere and I think bruins made it clear swayman is their number 1 man… plus he is 5 years younger than ullmark I believe so I can see them trying to make him stick around for a very long time. Gonna miss them together though.

Him and Swayman both are gonna be sad lol. Will miss the bearhugs

All of the goalies looked bad in Ottowa last year. It was a rough year all around. Korpisalo is a good tender. He was good in Lumbus and LA.

What’s ignored is that Ullmark had a no trade clause and was shooting down agreed upon deals ahead of a contract year. Swayman will get extended so Ullmark needed to be moved, the goalie tandem was untenable if you wanted to sign Swayman and Ottawa was evidently not a problem for him. And let’s be honest, the Sens are not scaring anyone right now whether they sign Ullmark to an extension or not

Finally Korpisalo has a team that can defend in front of him. CJB&OTT weren't the greatest defensive teams. In the LAK he did fine.

I feel like Korps gets a bad rap. When he was backing up Bobs in Columbus I thought he was quality. I’d like to see how another goalie would do in the spots he was in, in Columbus, LA and Ottawa

This saved the Sens from buying out Korpi and they get last year's Vezina trophy winner in return for at least one year. Even with the 25% retained ($1M x 4years), Kasti and the 25th gone, the Sens got exactly what they wanted. I hope Linus signs a 4-6 year deal, but even if he walks, they will be ahead in my opinion. He said he's already spoken with Alfie, so hopefully that can help make him feel at home. Ottawa's a great city with a passionate, knowledgeable fanbase. Great channel Eck, cheers!

Linus is a fucking rental and will demand big money. Also has a 10 teams NMC and is almost untradeable due to both reasons. Even as a Vezina winner.

Boston actually did good here. Korpisalo will thrive in Boston

Gonna really miss the Swayman Ullmark goalie hug!

Ottawa and the Canucks are going to have identical seasons. You heard it here first.

A minor aspect of Ullmark coming to Ottawa which I really like as a Sens fan is that his new backup here, Anton Forsberg, is an old friend and teammate from Sweden. Now if the team can get some more solid defense in front of him then Ullmark might just be comfy enough to re-sign. If not, I wouldn't blame him for looking at this trade as a rental. Also for the love of all that is hockey let someone direct him and his family west of Ottawa maybe as far as the Calabogie area, if they set up in the city and have to deal with everyday Ottawa people nonsense he's going to leave for sure.

There was no market beyond Ottawa. Bruins played themselves. No way could they go into next year with $14m commitment to the goalies

As a Sens fan, I'm not going to be over confident and make any bold predictions but Ullmark showed he could play well behind a terrible team in Buffalo, Ottawa had a good record last year when they had competent goaltending, but most nights they had the worst goaltending in the league, by a large margin. Ottawa's D has been suspect for quite some time, but a lot of the brutal goals Korpisalo let in last year were on him

As a bruins fan.. on paper. I was a little taken back as to the “return value”. Maybe they have a solid prospect in mind at 25 that fits a role we need? Maybe they package Korpi with the pick and someone else to get a return worth having. Anyone else feel fleeced in Boston? 😆 the man won the Vezna the prior year and would have been a major upgrade to many teams across the board and we went with this? I currently have COVID, is my wet brain fahking missing something?

I disagree (respectfully), Ullmark is 31 and won't be signing an extension, for what they got it's a pretty decent haul. They're gonna need to pay Swaymiester probably 7(ish)m? Korpi will be fine, put a good defense in front of him and he does fine.

I don't see it as bad as you do for the Bruins. That comment on that pick being theirs initially... you could also see it as renting Bertuzzi only cost them a 2025 4th rd pick in the end. That's very good asset management. Plus they don't have to look for a backup goalie while Bussi finishes honing his skills, Korpisalo ain't as bad as Ottawa's defense made him look, costs them much less than Ullmark, and Kastelic is exactly the type of strong bottom 6 forward they love to mold to their system.

Detroit tirebirds?

Bro went from Boston’s Defence to Ottawa’s Defence

The Bruins system makes goalies better. Yes ullmark is a great get for Ottawa, but Boston doesn't get hurt by this trade.

as a sens fan i Love this trade gets a bad contract off the books and a great goalie for a late first and a 4 line player. You make that deal every time

I live in Boston and the market here is fine with the trade, Joonas is gonna packaged and go somewhere else or stached in Providence. This was all about giving Swayman a long term deal and making Ulmark happy.

Ullmark should put the Sens in a better position to compete for a playoff spot, but won't get them there by himself - it's a great first step to trying to be competitive next season but I don't think anyone in Ottawa thinks the roster moves are close to done. More is needed to revamp that roster but if they make a few more good moves they could definitely be in the mix

Yeah... it's like, why not just keep Ullmark until the deadline?

The Bruins cleared cap space and got into the first round, for 1 year of Ullmark's services as goalie 1A. You're wrong.

I really do think this is one that will look better for all parties in hindsight. I think Korpy at that cap hit, as a back-up, on a more defensively responsible team will be solid. The first is always good and Kastelic was born to be a Bruin. Like with Buffalo, Ullmark will show he's good even on a bad team, netting Ullmark more money on his next contract than he woulda gotten as Swayman's 1b. And Ottawa gets good goaltending for the first time in forever and the chance to offer him the 8 year contract other teams can't offer or get some assets back at the deadline if they don't perform in front of Ullmark. It will be a win-win-win.

This is the bs that the bruins do all the time

Kastelic is a solid 4th line option who brings grit and grind along with a ton of physicality, so a true 4th line player.

Ive never heard someone call detroit the Tirebirds but its the funniest thing ever

Great vid

Korpi def costed a few games just letting weak goals in on the first 5 shots in 5mins a lot this year. Shots outside the hashmark that looked more like a dump in shot than an actual shot. Uncommon sens W and im pumped for the year esp if we can find another solid D man

Knowing how the Bruins karma works, Ullmark is gonna regress back to his Sabres form in Ottawa, Korpisalo is gonna regain his Columbus all-star form, and the 25th pick will turn into the next franchise cornerstone.

The Bruins hadn't had a 1st rounder in like 5-6 years. Couple this with Ullmark having a NMTC made it really difficult.

im gonna miss him he will always be a bruin in my heart

brandon bussy is a CRAZY name

As a Bruins fan I am sad to see Ullmark leaving Boston! Him and Sway were THE best duo in nhl and the energy they were bringing was just unbeliveable. Wish him the best of luck in Ottawa(My second team since im from Quebec Canada)

Ottawa has a lot of really good pieces. Good core in both offense and defense, i think the Ullmark move gets them into a low seed play off position and they can start to build a winning culture from there.

I think the bruins are rebuilding now.

I like this trade for the Bruins. Having Swayman/Ullmark was a huge luxury for sure but Swayman/Korpisalo is still kinda insane. Getting a decent replacement for Ullmark while also getting a first round pick and a prospect out of it is a win. Whether it's originally Boston's own pick or not makes no difference, a pick is a pick.

Here's my understanding of the trade details: - Ullmark is scheduled to make $5m this year with a $1m bonus given to him on July 1st so the Sens effectively pay him $6m - The Sens retain $1m per season of Korpi's contract. Thus, what's left on Korpi's contract is 4 x $1m = $4m that the Sens have to pay. - All in all, if Ullmark walks, then the Sens payout $10m instead of $16m to Korpi (over the length of Korpi's contract) thus saving $6m. Plus the Sens give up a 25th overall pick. According to Steve Dangle that 25th pick is more like a glorified 2nd rounder rather than an elite 1st round pick (based on how the prospects tier out). Of course, the Bruins also get Kastelic, a solid 25 year old 4th liner. My verdict: As a Sens fan, I'm happy with what Steve Staios achieved. It almost seems like we paid Boston the draft pick to save $6m (presuming the worst case scenario where Ullmark walks). Boston also did a solid for Ottawa by freeing the Sens of the obligation to keep Korpi on the roster. With Korpi on the roster Ottawa would have been forced to utilize him during these prima and valuable years of having Brady, Stutzle, Batherson,, Sanderson (and so forth). And with Korpi on the roster the Sens will have had very little chance of making the playoffs. What about Boston? I think Boston also did alright. Had they kept Ullmark for the year, they would have had no trade returns possible (given Ullmark's expiring contract). Also, having two #1 starters in net makes no sense from a cap management point of view. So why not ditch one of the starters and just get a cheaper backup instead? In the end, that's what Boston did and I believe Korpi will play better in front of Boston's superior team D (compared to Ottawa's). What else? Could Boston have gotten more in the Ullmark trade? Previously, yes but not currently. With most goalie starved teams out of the goalie market (e.g., NJ grabbed Markstrom from Calgary and the Kings grabbed Kuemper from the Caps) this meant Ottawa suddenly found themselves in a buyer's market and likely dictated the terms.

As a Wings fan, I'm not sure how I feel about the "Tire Birds". Kinda cool. Kinda funny. The Tire Birds playing a home game at Little Ceasars Pizza Palace has a ring to it 😅

Man I could not agree more. What ever… Ottawa got a great deal in my book.

Honestly as an Ottawa fan it was brilliant. We finally got a good goalie

Im just grateful this was not about the Jake Walman trade

still dont understand why thay wanted to trade him in the first place. He did have a little bit of a down period, but it just felt like thay never gave him a real chance to come back. Sway was always the second goalie in my eyes, which makes it so strange that thay did not even flinch about trading Ullmark. Yes swayman is amazing! But it would be like the rangers trading Igor cuz Quick is playing amazing.

If the Sens could somehow land Tanev, that would be some serious offseason improvement!

Good stepping stone to competency for the Sens

I hope when the 25th pick comes up on the screen it shows "Boston -> Detroit -> Ottawa -> Boston" because I just think that'd be amusing

This f*cked with a dash of something else but bussi is a damn decent tender . Friggin , gonna miss those damn winning hugs and shite

"This trade was ass" Everyone: do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it doen?

Don't forget the Ullmark is the ONLY Bruin's goalie to ever score a goal

The afterglow was quickly faded when Alex Meurelo (sp?) announced he’s step away from the Arizona Coyotes

Depends on what Ottawa looks for at draft and trade before the season starts too many teams rely heavily on the goalie to carry them through a game

How this wasn't about the Red Wings-SJ Walman trade is perplexing.

As a Red Wings fan, there will always be a place in my heart for Bertuzzi

I’m gonna miss goalie hugs :(

LOL. All the comments saying the Bruins are gonna rebuild. The Bruins have legit never rebuilt in the expansion era. They haven't missed the playoffs more than 2 years in a row since 1967. A lot of mediocre teams with first round exits but that's fine with Jacobs.

Fans tend to overvalue goaltenders in trades, especially when they have to waive a clause in order for one to even happen.

He's top tier and as a Bruins fan, he was great. As a hockey fan, we were wasting premium talent, to be truthful...

Kastelic is a solid 4th liner who's good at faceoffs

Bertuzzi looks like he smells like Kid Rock

It's the Draft Day trade. "I want my picks back."

I mean... I don't wanna get too excited for the Sens considering the vast majority of people thought they'd be a playoff team this year and we all know how that went... Adding a legit Tender is always a big step though, so who knows.

This is very good for senators, i believe they will be stanley cup contenders in around 2-3 years. Strong young offense, defense, and a strong goaltender now

They wanted a 1st round pick because the Bruins didn't have a pick until a forth round, and they can't afford to pay Swayman and keep Ullmark. Swayman is the main guy now.

I'm betting that the bruins are gonna try to trade korpisalo before the start of the season so they can put Bussi in net instead

I saw Bertuzzi in thumbnail and thought “interesting” oh, Ullmark. Yes. Hate that he’s gone. No more goaliehug. Hate that we got two players for him when we are trying to free up capspace. I wanted Ullmark to stay, I do. I do not believe Sens go into playoffs. I’d love to see it though because I think the Sens are funny. One of 2 teams in Canada, I cheer for, for the meme of it. The other being the Nucks.

Brandon Bussi signed a contract, we might be seeing korpisalo traded before next season.

Just because Sens somehow manage ways to not get better. I'd expect Ullmark to be just average and Korpisalo having best season he has ever had.

I think Boston are a bit shrewder than what might be initially thought here. They realize his value could go either way, but a pay rise is almost certain. If this is another Carey situation, they look like geniuses. We don't see all the behind the locker room talk, but I'm guessing there's some rebuilding, cap negotiating and some banking on prospects going on here.

the B's had few choices since Ullmark had a 16 or something team no-move clause

Calling it now, Swayman is not going to perform as well without the support of Ullmark. It will change his mindset and flow. its not just about the hugs lol

I mean if we are being honest, we all knew Boston was not keeping both of them and Boston already tried to trade him at the deadline

Bro I was wondering why this wasn't headlined on sports news platforms

May Ullmark find success wherever he goes.

When Korpi has defenders around him he's not bad. Swayman is a stud and Korpi is a good number two

Wallman trade was way worse. Gave up not only their second best defence men, but by far the red wings best cap steal for nothing. And paid them a draft pick to do it. You could’ve done that with holl or chariot but they chose wallman. What the hell is Yzerman thinking?

I'd love to see a game with bussi

That's not a terrible return for a goalie. This ain't the 90s...

Senators lookin kinda crisp for next year

Seeing the thumbnail and title, I thought this was about the Walman trade.

Need to get BERRUZZI BACK. He’s born to be a Bruin

Sweeney speak about Bussi... hes probably gonna be our backup ... if he dont performs well in the beginning, we will have Korpi... let see how he perform with B's defense

the question is, what RFA are the buins targeting that they needed their 1st rounder from this year back.

Should have put every single trade so far in this video

Detroit Tirewheels. Priceless.

This could end up as the year ott FINALLY does something. We all say that every year though, so who knows.

I thought this was going to be about the Red WIngs trading Walman and a 2nd for nothing.

It’s crazy how people have forgotten how good Korpisalo was when he had a defense in front of him. 7 playoff overtimes? Hello?? Ottowa can’t defend. Boston can. Korpisalo is gonna rebound because that’s what Boston does

I wish Ulmark went to leafs or oilers that would’ve been fantastic

As I was watching this Mangipanie for A 2nd rd pick was announced hahahaha

Is Future Considerations on the move again?

Got to trust sweeneys 4d chess game. Maybe we'll keep the goalie but the other guy we'll package with someone else for a 1C

I was hoping for more for Ullmark...but the Bruins are not known for being geniuses at the trade (sure, there are some goodies...but there have been LOTS of baddies!)

Agree 100% we traded one of the 10 best goalies for our own pick back... Gross

Gotta disagree completely here - Boston still has an elite goaltender in Swayman, who's 5 years younger. Keeping 2 Vezina-level goalies on the roster would be any GMs dream, but it gets hard to afford in a salary-capped league. One of them had to go, and IMO Boston made the right decision on who to keep. Chances are Ullmark would be trying his hand on the UFA market after next year anyways, in which case Boston would be getting nothing. Ottawa is taking a big risk on that one themselves. To get a first round pick, a solid back-up goalie option and a potential fourth-line forward for only one guaranteed season out of Ullmark is a pretty great deal for Boston. That the pick was originally Boston's has no weight in the quality of this trade. The original trade to lose the pick was bad, but the pick was gone. Before the trade they didn't have a first round pick, after the trade they do, that's all that counts.

The trade wasn't bad at all when you look that Ullmark had a NTC so he controlled that and he only has 1 year left on his deal. No team is going to give up a lot for a 1 year player. The reason why NJ got a better deal for Markstrom despite him being older and not as good as Ullmark is because Markstrom has 2 years left on his deal. Term means everything when trying to acquire a player. So you call it a horrible trade but you don't take everything into consideration, sure you mentioned it but you still said it was a horrible trade. What if they didn't trade him at all and let him go for nothing? That would be horrible. And it's not like he has lit it up in the playoffs anyway so big deal they traded away a good regular season goalie.

The vezina tender is going to costs 8 million per. Nobody can afford that. You aren’t seeing the big picture…
