There is no chance the Bruins are going to trade Ullmark to NJ imo, everything I have heard is that's not happening. Conroy holds all the cards here in a deal, if NJ offers a 2025 protected pick and a B prospect Conroy hangs up because he doesn't have to move Jacob Markstrom. Either pay the price or have fun with Jake Allen.

Which insider straight up said that Markstrom was worth the 10th overall pick? Because all the speculation I heard from places like Barn Burner, Seravalli, and the fan seemed to argue that you would need to add to Markstrom to get that pick.
Last year Noodles was arguing that Markstrom at $3M x 3 is going to bring back a haul, but we burned a year, so the price decreases. If we wait another year then it decreases further. If Markstrom has a mediocre year, then he'll have even less suitors, etc.
