Since Bruins insider Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic raised the question of whether Boston could trade goaltender Linus Ullmark, there's been a flurry of activity in the market. Notably, the options for trading goalies have dwindled, particularly with the Edmonton Oilers and Carolina Hurricanes no longer seeking goaltending upgrades.

Ullmark Trade Heating Up According To Insider

According to insider Pierre Lebrun, the New Jersey Devils are eyeing Ullmark from the Bruins if they can't secure Jacob Markstrom from the Calgary Flames before Friday's trade deadline. LeBrun also suggests Kevin Lankinen from the Nashville Predators as a rental option, with a potential revisit during the offseason for the other two goaltenders.

Devils goalie options: preferred route is still to get Markstrom out of Calgary, or does an Ullmark trade with Boston make sense. If that can't be, then wait until summer to fix the net but in meantime, maybe a stopgap measure. Rental Kevin Lankinen in Nash as an option?

While many believe Jeremy Swayman is ready to take on the Bruins full-time starter role, trading Ullmark could open up opportunities to bolster other areas of the roster and free up $5 million in cap space. However, parting ways with Ullmark could disrupt the strong goaltending duo and impact team morale during a critical time in the season.

While a trade involving Ullmark isn't out of the question, it would likely require an exceptional offer to make it happen.
