In a move that is now being heavily questioned, the Boston Bruins traded Linus Ullmark to the Ottawa Senators without securing a contract extension for former goaltending partner Jeremy Swayman. Swayman, who shared the crease with Ullmark during the 2023 season, emerged as the team’s starter during the 2024 postseason. His stellar performance, including a .933 save percentage, also made him the team’s choice as their netminder moving forward, so the club traded Ullmark under the impression they could get a Swayman deal done without much issue.

The New York Islanders all but put a bow on the offseason when they re-signed Simon Holmstrom. They still have to deal with Oliver Wahlstrom, who heads to arbitration but any big move at this point seems unlikely. A big trade or a late-summer signing looks like they are off the table and the Islanders’ roster looks just about set for the 2024-25 season.
