Linus Ullmark may be quick to depart the Ottawa Senators per Insider
The Ottawa Senators went all in for a playoff run in 2024/25 by acquiring Linus Ullmark, but the Vezina Trophy winner may not be north of the border for long.
After months of speculation, the Boston Bruins finally broke up their star goaltender pairing, shockingly trading former Vezina Trophy winner Linus Ullmark to the Ottawa Senators in a surprise deal.
The deal makes sense for Ottawa if they are intending on making a Stanley Cup Playoff run, but for years now they've had that mindset before falling short, and if that happens early in the 2024/25 season, it may be the end of Ullmark ahead of free agency.
"The whole contract situation and the talks about that, that is something that (Senators GM) Steve (Staios) and my agent will deal with off to the side. I told them as well that once there is something that needs to be discussed, you can always reach me ... I try not to look too far ahead.
"I try to stay in the moment and not worry about what may or what could be in the future and instead, just enjoying the present."
"I try to stay in the moment and not worry about what may or what could be in the future and instead, just enjoying the present."
That comes from insider Frankie Corrado, and given his comments, there's huge potential that if the team aren't pushing for a playoff spot before the deadline, they may look to trade the veteran star. If not, there's a high likelihood that he departs in free agency in a weak goaltending class, so unless something happens before the season, there's a good chance he could leave after a short stint in Ottawa.
