The Hurricanes are said to be wanting to give Kotchetkov more starts next season, and Anderson is signed for one year and has an NTC. So I don’t see them in the market for a starter.
So it probably shakes out something like this.
Market for Ullmark:
NJD
OTT
TOR
Market for Markstrom:
NJD
OTT
LA
TOR
COL
Both have NTCs, so Ottawa could get shut out. I could see it playing out as Ullmark to NJD and Markstrom to LA or TOR.

I see Ullmark more as LA and COL.
Not sure they'd want to trade him to an Eastern team they'd be competing against, and certainly not within the division.
