Quoting: Kalopsia
Ullmark signed in Boston thinking he’d be the starting goalie on a cup contender coached by Bruce Cassidy. Now he’s backing up Swayman, the Bruins have been so devastated by injuries that they seem to be debating a rebuild, and Cassidy’s out. Normally I’d say expecting a guy to waive his NMC one year into a new deal is nuts, but I think Ullmark’s in such a unique situation that it’s a real possibility.
1. He's not backing up Swayman and both guys started 39 games last year for Boston.
2. Boston isn't debating a rebuild. Bergeron wouldn't be coming back if the teams plan was to rebuild. They have Marchand, Hall, Pastrnak, DeBrusk, McAvoy, Lindholm, Carlo, Swayman (to name a few) all under contract. They're still very much a playoff team
3. Ullmark didn't sign in Boston because of Cassidy, he signed there because of the team they had in front of him.
