Lower your expectations. That 1st in the top-15 is already plenty for 1 year of Ullmark.

Jersey would consider paying that for Swayman but never Ullmark

Ullmarks and goalies value in general will likely go down in the offseason due to more of them being available again. if Calgary or Nashville make their respective goalies available Ullmark won't be valued at a 1st and Dawson Mercer in this example. he may be worth some 2024 picks and would need to find someone with them available thats not on his NTC list.

Protected 2025 first or a something like a 2024 2nd and 3rd and a guy like Chase Stillman

I agree that the original deal was not realistic. From my perspective, the number of good teams with bad goaltending that has impacted them is higher than ever. Boston has the cap position to keep Ullmark through the end of his FA tenure fairly easily. He’s likely to be more of an impact to the Bruins than any second round pick if teams try to low ball.

People need to stop acting like Chase Stillman has any value whatsoever. Don’t care he was a reach as a first rounder. He’s likely not worth a fourth rounder in terms of relative value right now.

hanifin and debrusk get more, ullmark gets less.
