NHL Rumors: Has Linus Ullmark Performed His Final Recreation in Boston?
Swayman may get round an eight-year extension value $8-$8.5 million on AAV. So, the Bruins couldn’t carry $13 million in salaries for goalies. Until they transfer out of Korpisalo, they are going to have round $11 million in goalie salaries if Swayman will get near this quantity.
There isn’t a extension as a part of this deal for Ullmark and the Senators, however he’s not eligible to signal one till July 1.
The Senators had been trying to improve their goaltending after Korpisalo posted one of many worst save percentages of the season. Senators GM Steve Staios hopes it will clear up the Senators goaltending issues and get them again into rivalry.
Boston additionally provides depth with Kastelic on the heart. He’s nonetheless not the primary heart they want; he’s quick, performs with a bodily edge and may sometimes put the puck into the online. In different phrases, a great Boston Bruin is much like Morgan Geekie.
