Chicago Blackhawks: the price to acquire Boston Bruins star goaltender revealed
It's not news that Kyle Davidson intends to make the Blackhawks a better team, through acquisition this off-season.
One of these targets would be to stabilize the net situation, as Arvid Soderblom isn't ready to be a starting goalie, which leaves Petr Mrazek in the net alone.
Most teams roll a goalie tandem in the net nowadays, whether it is a 60-40 split or 50-50 split, such as the Boston Bruins do.
With the ascendancy of Jeremy Swayman into the starting spot, Linus Ullmark needs a new home.
The Ottawa Senators have been one of the first teams to reach out about Ullmark, and the trade to acquire him would be costly, as according to Bruce Garrioch of The Ottawa Citizen, the Senators' first offer, was Jakob Chychrun, a first-round pick, and another pick attached to the top pairing defenseman.
So, for Ullmark, Don Sweeney would likely want a similar package of a top defenseman, like Kevin Korchinski, Ethan Del Mastro, or Alex Vlasic, and two picks, one including a 1st rounder.
Ullmark is the former 2022-2023 Vezina Trophy winner, with an impressive record with a .915 save percentage, 2.57 GAA, and 22-10-7, 2 shutouts in 40 games played with the Bruins.
