So there's been a few rumours lately - Jake Allen, Joonas Korpisalo, John Gibson, Juuse Saros. Of those, the one most worth running down is Saros. The first two I've never been sold on. Gibson - hard to judge after years behind bad teams, but is he still where he once was? or has he slipped? I'd want to have a lot of confidence in my goalie scouts if I am making that bet...annnnd the Oilers scouts were comfortable giving $5MM per for 5 years to Jack Campbell...

One possibility that hasn't been addressed but that should be looked at? Boston has Ullmark & Swayman. Both playing very well. Great numbers for both again. Like Gibson, I'd want to know is that the system? Are the Bruins just excellent at suppressing great chances against?

But they have an issue coming with those two. Swayman is in a single year deal paying him $3.475MM. Ullmark makes $5MM per year for this year and next. My guess, given age, is that they're going to prefer Swayman as the goalie of the future. He's likely going to get $5MM+ on a long-term deal after this year - even another bridge deal is likely to be expensive and leave them with over 8-figures tied up in goaltenders. And Swayman has arbitration rights - which stacks the deck for him given his stats the last while! As such, they may be open to dealing Ullmark before then. He's got a 16-team no-trade list, so that could be an issue but maybe playing with McDavid and Draisaitl would be appealing to him.

One of the issues is that the Bruins seem fully committed to sharing the goal and keeping their guys well-rested. If they don't have enough belief in DiPietro or Bussi from their farm team, they might want someone like Skinner back in return. I don't see them happily taking on Campbell no matter what so we might need to LTIR him before we make a deal.
