The Ottawa Senators have acquired goaltender Linus Ullmark from the Boston Bruins in exchange for their original 2024 first-round draft pick (no. 25 overall), center Mark Kastelic, and goaltender Joonas Korpisalo. Senators will retain 25% of Korpisalo’s remaining salary.
Both the Bruins and Senators have confirmed the deal, finalized just before Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers.
Jeremy Swayman is expected to sign a significant contract as a restricted free agent with the Bruins, hence the trade of Ullmark to Ottawa. Ullmark will reportedly sign a long-term extension with the Senators.
Ullmark excelled in Boston after struggling seasons in Buffalo. Although his performance dipped this season, he remained above average.
Boston needed to sign Swayman long-term, leading to the trade of Ullmark to Ottawa. The Senators hope Ullmark can improve their goaltending situation, as both Korpisalo and Forsberg underperformed last season.
