Is it finally time for the Bruins to trade Linus Ullmark? || Jones & Mego



Is it finally time for the Bruins to trade Linus Ullmark? || Jones & Mego

you have to tune you they tried to trade you it wasn’t trade talk it’s not like the big bad media was suggesting something and you didn’t to hear about they tried to trade you and you said no the team didn’t want you and I think it’s weird he wants to stay here I think that’s so weird he wanted to stay here to be benched and it does speak to how soft this team is now we can get into allar and his future here on Jones and mega with Aran uh you can weigh in 617 77979 37 you can also text us 37937 I agree with this the answers from Marian and posto are as soft as melted melted ice cream uh they scream soft like that sounds more wet from allar wanting to be here and not going anywhere to Marian being happy with getting to the second round like the whole thing is extremely soft or just content like they’re just absolutely dry they’re just content no no no the opposite scale they’re content with just oh well we got out of the first round more home gates for Jeremy Jacobs who I guess is speaking on Wednesday yes uh Charlie Jacobs is Charlie Jacobs cam NE Don Sweeney and Jim Montgomery will address the media Wednesday at 1:00 and I think you’re exactly right I think that starts at the top this sort of you know being content with just getting the gate and you know a couple rounds in the playoffs and it starts up there and it trickles down to the team our bosses are happy with us we we we got to the playoffs we won a round more home gapes for the the Jacobs family and you know what no one’s going to lose any jobs we’re all going to stay here Lena all markets to stay on the team and it’s like everybody’s just too content with losing and choking and coming up short absolutely it’s we didn’t embarrass you did we look at us we didn’t embarrass you aren’t you happy everybody yeah all right look that was a really good team on the other side guys like that team was really good and we went six games with them and isn’t that great for us and you know what like I kind of agree to an extent I do think that this team was not built for a deep playoff run and I think that by the slimmest of margins they did over achieve by going six games with Florida I still wouldn’t like throw myself a parade I wouldn’t like you know bend over backwards padding myself and all my teammates on the back being like right after you lost going hey you know what like I’m proud of everybody I’m proud of you guys and it’s one thing for you to say it you know on a talk show it’s another for them to say it like it’s another for the team to be like yeah no one thought we’d do this in your face and so it all just is soft and they’re just so content with where they’re at and it probably does start at the top Aran uh you can jump in six 17779 7937 here’s more of Lena zark uh on breakup day yesterday for me it’s above my pay grade as well really and I I don’t have the luxury to choose that if I could I’m probably get the same thinking as everybody else we done I want to stay and I’m going to stay but we live in a world where professional sports is you you know you got to deal with the hand you’ve been dealt with and like I said I have one more year I wouldn’t want anything else than to come back here uh get a little bit of a revenge tour you know like I’m very excited motivated for L count the leanest revenge tour that’s another band I don’t want to see but so uh when he says it’s above my pay grade I’ll tell you what the first time I heard that I thought he said it’s about my pay grade and I was like yeah what are we doing here nice he said above my pay grade I had to go back and listen to it um it’s not above your pay grade lenus they tried to trade you you just have to say yep do it that’s not above your P grade you you had it’s such a fake fraudulent answer cuz you had all the say in the world it was up to you right they had a deal worked out you said no they had one worked out last off season you said no and so don’t say it’s above your pay grade and like oh it’s up to the GM I just work here no no no you shot down the trade and so I’m done with him I’m done with debrusk I’m done with grizzli like why are you throwing debrusk in there I’m just curious because I have been beating the debrus drum for the last he’s a free agent and de brus had a good postseason but like I’m not falling into best player in the he might have been I’m not falling into the Trap of oh de bruss was good in the playoffs let’s bring him back it’s about my payre it’s I’m not that’s the answer that’s also the answer that I give when somebody wants to ask me something and I just don’t want to say something negative so I just go that’s above my pay grade yeah like that is that’s also not like a nice answer no it’s throwing your boss under under the bus which is why I don’t give it very often okay so to me like I’m done with him they should have been done with him at the deadline they tried to be done with him he just he he likes it so much here even though the team doesn’t want him which is crazy so find a way to deal him you know he’s got teams uh I would deal him by the way now I wouldn’t wait till in season we’ve already gotten some text wait till line is like hey why don’t you see what you can get for him when the season starts no how long are we going to play this game trade them now you need the cap space now people are rebuilding their teams now you know like this is when it start you want to wait till the season starts maybe if someone gets injured but then you’re just going to be sitting there holding on to him again thank you and so like I think you’d get more for him now I don’t even know what you’re going to get but I think you get more for him now than you would in season especially if he’s just the backup to Jeremy Swan there’s temptation to like stick with him potentially if if you go into the year with him no trade him now I don’t want the bruss back I’m done with grizzli benched again in the postseason that was a bunch of wasted money between him andar I know they have 20 plus million in cap space right now by keeping Omar and keeping uh uh grizzli if they wanted to do that but to me I I just I would rather free up extra space because you’re probably paying Swan 8 million well there’s your 8 million right there and now you have another 20 million to go get Elias Lindholm or Stam Co who’s a free agent if he’d ever leave Tampa you know if you want help on the back end you could address it that way like about Reinhardt you have tons of you could go you could go steal Reinhardt from Florida that’s another free agent and so I I would rather carve out as much cap space as I can to add to the team while also retaining San that’s why I’d move on from allar and grizzli and I wouldn’t keep the BR to me it’s a total no-brainer you got to move them you got to move them like find some way I don’t even and honestly at this point like I don’t know maybe it’s foolish because yeah you do want cash freed up to go get some other guys and and help out you know reorganizing your top six a little bit and hopefully not run into what you ran into in this postseason at the same time like I do think part part of it is addition by subtraction if you get rid of all Market I know that sounds crazy because they had the goalie rotation all year long but you know with swayman now like you know and they have the Good Vibes and the whole goalie hug and everything now but f is that going to last if San is the number one goalie going into next year that’s I don’t care if it does either give a rat’s ass if the vi you know like it’s not really about like the goalie Vibes are great but I don’t care about that I just I I don’t that’s a nice little thing they can market and make their t-shirts you know them hugging and stuff but that really has nothing to do with the team or going forward how to fix the team having two goalies doesn’t get you anywhere and once the playoffs start it’s completely nice regular season is but they’ve had really nice regular seasons without a goalie rotation and it just doesn’t make a difference like I don’t think and when comes to the playoffs it’s completely useless it’s useless to have that because if you have one goalie you’re sticking with them and we’ve seen that even when they come into the postseason with a plan like that if one guy plays better than the other then you’re going to play that guy that’s just the way it works it’s the way it always works and having two goalies for another year would be insane what older hbang whoa in the twitch chat how much older good question they are not trading all Mark that’s their playoff Cash Cow meal ticket it’s a fair point like Jacobs goes wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute although he probably doesn’t know enough about the team and the make of it and everything he’s just like get me to the playoffs and pay me my money but like the goalie rotation does too’s Point kind of secure you getting into the post season it’s a fair point I I would move him I I’m a broken record on this I would have moved him a long time ago

After a terrific postseason from Jeremy Swayman, the crew all agrees that the time has come for the Bruins to trade goalie Linus Ullmark. #nhlbruins #nhlplayoff #nhl

  1. I'd be more ok with how it ended, if prices weren't so astronomical (game tix, parking and food).

  2. Lmao what the hell is wrong with these idiots. Our 1st line center in the SECOND ROUND OF THE PLAYOFFS was the PART TIME, FOURTH LINE CENTER from the 2022-2023 Seattle Kraken. Im pretty sure feeling like you did better than expected is 100% justified and it says WAY more about YOU ALL if you disagree with that very obvious, basic fact.

    Also wtf, let DeBrusk go… WHAT?! OUR BIGGEST PROBLEM WAS SCORING AND HE WAS OUR #1 SCORER. We need MORE of that. Are there better free agents for scoring that we can ACTUALLY GET? His scoring has been, believe it or not, more consistent than Bertuzzi's and Bertuzzi wanted like over $6 Mill.

    Grizz is now without a contract with the Boston Bruins so his cap space has ALREADY been cleared. It is shocking you all have a hockey show. WOW. All I can say is complaining about stuff you cannot dp something about, or blaming totally arbitrary or irrelevant random things on players who dragged this team into the second round just because you got your emotions damaged… THAT IS WHAT'S SOFT. Can y'all just relax a little and enjoy your top 8 or so NHL hockey team who barely ever misses the playoffs and is imminently getting better? Surely y'all didnt see danton heinen, geekie, Shattenkirk, JVR, etc. And think, "Oh this year we're DEF going on a run!" B/c if you did, your show needs to be cancelled immediately

  3. heard on another show, think it was sunday skate…maybe ullmark stays and wins the job back. it was a good point.

    having two #1 goalies gave them cap problems this year, but since the cap is going up regardless maybe they can find a way to keep ullmark 1 more year and still upgrade the roster. this way you're guaranteed stellar goaltending for the playoffs.

    a .910 goalie isn't going to lose his spot to a .890…… but two .910's…they have to play out of their mind just to play next game. maybe that's the juice
