Speaking during Boston's end-of-season press conference last month, Don Sweeney mentioned that one team (Vancouver Canucks) secured a No. 9 overall pick in a trade for a goaltender (Cory Schneider, 2013) as an example of the assets that could be pried away in a swap for a netminder.
"It's really what teams needs and what the market will bear, and ultimately it comes down to supply and demand, what a team wants and what you might have, ultimately, that generally shapes the trade market," Sweeney said.
If the Bruins do find a trade suitor for Ullmark this offseason, draft capital seems like the most likely return, beyond the clear cap savings that come with taking Ullmark's $5 million cap hit off the books.
"After failing in a bid to acquire goaltender Linus Ullmark from the Boston Bruins at the NHL trade deadline in March, (Senators GM Steve) Staios and the club's hockey operations department are expected to make another pitch before the draft set for June 28-29 in Las Vegas," Garrioch wrote.
