Price for the Blackhawks to acquire a superstar in Boston has been revealed
A key area of improvement is the goaltending situation, as the current lineup reveals a pressing need for reinforcement.
Most NHL teams now operate with a goalie tandem, often splitting responsibilities in either a 60-40 or 50-50 fashion, much like the Boston Bruins.
The Bruins have recently seen Jeremy Swayman ascend to the starting spot, making
Linus Ullmark available for trade.
The Ottawa Senators have already shown interest in Ullmark, proposing a hefty trade package.
According to Bruce Garrioch of The Ottawa Citizen, their offer included top-pairing defenseman
Jakob Chychrun, a first-round pick, and an additional pick.
This sets a high benchmark for any team looking to acquire Ullmark.
To secure Ullmark, the Blackhawks would likely need to offer a similar package. This could mean parting with top defensemen like
Kevin Korchinski,
Ethan Del Mastro, or
Alex Vlasic, along with two draft picks, one being a first-rounder.
Linus Ullmark, the 2022-2023 Vezina Trophy winner, boasts an impressive track record. His stats include a .915 save percentage, a 2.57 goals-against average, and a 22-10-7 record, with two shutouts in 40 games played with the Bruins.
Adding Ullmark to the roster would provide the Blackhawks with the much-needed stability in the net.
The move would not only balance the goaltending duties but also bring a proven performer into the fold, enhancing the team's competitive edge for the upcoming season.
By integrating a high-caliber goalie like Ullmark, Davidson aims to fortify the Blackhawks' defensive line-up, creating a more resilient and formidable team ready to tackle the challenges of the new season.
