Linus Ullmark has built an impressive resume over his three seasons with the Bruins.
But even with a Vezina Trophy under his belt, Ullmark’s value on the trade market remains murky, in large part due to the volatility that comes with the goaltender position.
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.
