Next year's with something like top-10 protection.

Might get a second and a third. It’s tough to get good value for a G.

Maybe just a first in next years draft with lottery protection. I could certainly see that. This is too much for a goaltender, they just don't get that kind of return. With this years draft being in the lottery I can't see them moving it

With our current cap position, that’s incentive to keep him and let him leave in free agency. A 2nd and 3rd can turn into something, but most develop into AHL fodder or bottom 6 options.

Good goalies are rarely traded until they are old or their team is in a cap position where they can be leveraged.

I don’t use the price Boston paid or traded Taylor Hall for as indicative of forward values, because I can see how the contract and cap situation led to it. I kind of wish people would do the same for goalie values.

With the number of teams that imploded based on bad goaltending, I’m expecting many to have a different position if they can secure a goaltender the caliber of Ullmark. A lottery protected first seems fair. I think there is a viable option to get a first this year as well.

Only reason he’d be traded for a second and a third is if Seeeney knows he will sign two premium free agents and they need his salary slot. If that is public knowledge, it could be leveraged against them but I doubt that becomes public knowledge
