Why trading Linus Ullmark to the Edmonton Oilers doesn’t make sense for the Boston Bruins



The Edmonton Oilers are struggling, but that’s not relevant to the Boston Bruins despite speculation a goalie trade could be possible.

Jack Campbell was waived by the Oilers on Tuesday, John Buccigross recently floated the idea of trading Leon Draisaitl and Warren Foegele for Linus Ullmark, Jake DeBrusk, Matt Poitras, Fabian Lysell and a 2026 1st rounder.

Ian McLaren discusses the merits of such a deal, and why the Bruins should continue to prioritize keeping the tandem of Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman together.

Plus, some roster moves were made – what do they mean for Thursday’s game against the New York Islanders?

  1. Bruins will never win a cup with Linus! Period. Doesn’t have the goalie mentality. He wants to “think like a goldfish or be the gildfish” Coukdnt believe a goalie would say that! Then when the team blew a 2 goal lead with 5 minutes left, he just says. “ the sun will come out tomorrow”!? He’s soft mentally. Doesn’t have what it takes to go all the way. Trade him for players and talent. 2 number ones? Well the other ones on the bench doing nothing. It’s common sense. You have 1 ONE number one goalie and a decent to good back up. And I was totally against flip flopping goalies in the playoffs! 1 number one. Full stop!

  2. Goalies have a bigger impact on the game than a center does, so no matter how good the center, the trade would be a net negative for boston. The bottom line is that I don't think we would win more games because of that trade, so it's not a good trade.

  3. The 4th line has looked really good, even if Lauko is ready, I don’t think you take Steen out … would like to see him get some more run

  4. The goalie tandem is nice, but you can only play one at a time in the playoffs. And this team needs more goals scoring. You got to shop him to at least see what you can get
