Justin Bourne: “Was there a staff on the market in the present day that you just heard was concerned in rather a lot that didn’t …”
Friedman: “Boston.”
Bourne: “They didn’t get what they wished. They didn’t fairly pull the set off.”
Commerce Deadline Fallout: Chicago Blackhawks, Los Angeles Kings, and the Edmonton Oilers
Friedman: “No Boston, Boston you can inform. And I watched a bit of little bit of Don Sweeney‘s availability and he wouldn’t reply any questions on Ullmark and what precisely occurred there.”
Bourne: “Yeah, that’s an fascinating one. So what occurred? It appears like he perhaps had a deal to LA presumably, was requested to waive, didn’t need to waive.”
Friedman: “Nicely, all I can inform you about that’s, is that he has a half league no-trade. And I’d heard he was not keen to vary it in season. Now, did he …”
Nick Kypreos: “He didn’t have LA, he had LA on that on the I’m not going record. 16 groups I heard.”
Friedman: “He has half the league and like I don’t know that the LA, I’m not saying LA suppose is improper. I’m simply saying I don’t know that it’s true but. However there was positively someplace that they tried, they thought of sending them and he made it very clear that in the event that they’re not on my record, I’m not going.
However Nick and Justin, I heard there was an Japanese staff. That was, that took a protracted take a look at Ullmark. Like I feel Boston had a deal going with one other Japanese staff, and I feel it was goalie and defenseman Boston and doubtlessly defenseman coming again to the Bruins. I haven’t pinned it down but. I don’t know what it’s. However there was one thing else.
I don’t know if that one broke up, I don’t know if that one broke up as a result of Ullmark had him on the record or the deal simply broke up.”
aNHL Rumors: The Bruins and Linus Ullmark, and the Sabres and Zemgus Girgensons
Bourne: “Yeah.”
Friedman: “However there was one thing within the Japanese Convention too for certain.”
