Not only is this not enough, Ottawa is gonna pay probably double what Ullmark is worth.

Agree with your take. Wings would be much better off going for Gibson rather than Ullmark. Would be cheaper + fits the timeline better for Cossa and Augustine. A home run would be Anaheim retaining 2 mil of Gibson for Husso and a 2nd + one of our B-tier prospects.

boston has plenty of cap, seems to be this stigma that boston is in need for cap. they have 20m rn, sway is 7ish heinen is 1.25ish and everyone else is dirt cheap. they will have easily 7-8m in cap space to make a run at lindholm. Jake DB is most likely gone or signing a cheap deal and staying.
Ullarm value starts with 1st +. not sure if hes a great fit with ur 2 younug kids comming up but he might if he holds his value and gives a good #1 goalie while either of them come up and start taking time.

Not enough. No 1st no Ullmark for starters and JB is not much interest to Boston either.

not close ullmark waiveto ottawa reds sux until they stevy.y

Cossa playing NHL games is different from Cossa being a high end goalie. Cossa isn't a reason not to add a goalie

15th for Ullmark straight up. maybe willing to take Maata as a cap dump to help facilitate it.

How is Gibson a better fit? The guy hasn’t been a positive in goal this decade.

Then why waste a 15th overall pick + the assets to move up for the guy ? Now we have to deal another 1st ++ for another guy in his 30s who’ll want big money? Ya hard pass on ullmark for me man . Zero interest , like I said above fixing our defence should be our #1 priority. Rather go with Gibson/Lyon for a year and then Gibson/Cossa for 2

Before the last 2 years he was above 900 rather take him on than give ullmark another 5 year deal till he’s 36+ we have 2 high end goalie prospects in our pipeline and one is another season away . I’d be pissed if we dealt the 15th pick, should be a high end forward there we also need

Gibson hasn’t had a positive GsaX since 2018-2019.

Be surprised if high end forwards fall to 15.

I don't get the love for gibson.Gibson costs 6.4 for 3 more years might as well get ullmark he's just better. Cossa is a great prospect but until he's here and looks the part you can't just assume especially with a goalie.

Ducks also weren’t very good, rather take a chance on him than pay a higher price for a guy who’ll want a longterm deal when we have 2 guys coming up and he’s not even a clear #1. He’s always been a tandem guy

I think we can get a good prospect at 15 this year . Think there’s a good shot 7-8 dmen are picked before so we can draft the 6th or 7th forward to come out this draft

It’s not love for Gibson I just rather pay the lesser cost and have him for only 3 years . Ullmark will probably want another 5 years which means we’d have him till 36. Ullmark has always been a tandem goalie and never #1. Gibson has been on a bad ducks team last few years ... yes we can never assume with goalies but we spent a 15th pick + extra assets to move up to get him , why waste another 1st + for another guy when Cossa is a year off?

Sorry got zero interest in trading a top 15 pick ++ and extending a tandem guy till he’s 36 . Let’s not forget bruins team is a lot better than ours. I think our main goal should be fixing that d core. Whoever’s in nets will fail otherwise

"Gibson is bad because Anaheim's defense sucks" isn't a great justification for grabbing him considering our defense sucks too.

As for the draft, it's pretty rancid this year. Detroit would almost be farther ahead to trade up and get in the upper tier or trade down and grab another asset and still pick in the same tier of players.

Honestly, I'd trade 15 for McGroarty straight up in a heart beat.

Like I said none of these goalies will do anything if we bring back the same d core. Look at the bruins roster and ours ? Ullmark wouldn’t change anything and would likely have t be kept for 6 years instead of 3 for Gibson.

I think we can get someone good at 15 with all the dmen selected prior. If anything we can always move from 15 to 12 for like an eiserman. I know a lot of ppl complain he sucks and will be the next zadina but I don’t think every goal scorer is destined to fail and I think a potential line of eiserman larkin raymond could be a great one.

Connelly has huge upside and I’d take him if he’s there, what’s the point of drafting these locker room leaders like kasper danielson etc.. if we can’t surround someone like Connelly with these guys to help him. He’s still 17 not a 30 year old with no hope of turning things around . What if catton drops? .. think someone good can be there . Like mcgroarty but rather deal the 2025 first top 10 protected obviously ... with our luck he wants to only play in Detroit and the jets will have no leverage

I'm not saying I wouldn't draft Connelly. Or a handful of other guys there.

But I'd trade the pick for McGroarty over any of them in a heart beat. Draftees are draftees. McGroarty is already panning out as a prospect, fills a need as a bulkier winger, and is way closer to being NHL ready than anybody we'd get at 15th.

I’m interested in mcgroarty, id just try to get the 2025 pick on the table instead . Apparently mcgroarty is pissed cause he wanted to play this season in the nhl ... if that’s the case I don’t know how much Yzerman will be in on this ? Can’t imagine him liking someone demanding to be up on the wings
