The Toronto Maple Leafs are looking for help in goal this summer but Bruins netminder Linus Ullmark will not be an option as he has the team on his no-trade list.
NHL insider David Pagnotta revealed this news today as rumors around the Bruins netminder heat up. Trade chatter in general has picked up significantly in the past few days as teams start to make their offseason moves. Now it seems like the Senators may be the favorites to land the Bruins goalie.
The Leafs are not in the mix for Ullmark, though, as Toronto is on his no-trade list. Ottawa is also believed to be on his list, but two separate sources have told me he would accept a trade to the Senators if a deal between the two teams is finalized.
The Leafs currently have Joseph Woll as their number one netminder as Ilya Samsonov and Martin Jones will both be leaving the team in free agency this summer. However, the team will not want to go into the season with him as their number one due to his limited experience in the NHL. He played in just 25 games last season and has 36 games of NHL experience overall.
"When he's going for the team, he can play very well in the crease."

Furthermore, Woll already has an injury history as he suffered a high-ankle sprain last December that kept him out of the lineup for more than two months. The team needs some insurance to protect them from such injuries in the future.

Be sure to stay tuned to Toronto this offseason as Brad Treliving looks to round out his team. Adding a new goaltender should be a relatively high priority, so we could see a move come in the upcoming weeks.
