As trade talks around the Boston Bruins goaltender heat up, Linus Ullmark reportedly refused to be taken by the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Boston Bruins' Linus Ullmark is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after goaltenders in the NHL. Provided the player's seemingly impossible save percentage, Ullmark received the Vezina Trophy in 2023.
"The puck stops here! ✋ #NHLAwards
Linus Ullmark (@Icebeardude) picks up the Vezina Trophy as the League's top goaltender!"
However, it appears that Ullmark's time in Boston is coming to a close. Many teams had established interest in the Bruins goaltender, with teams like the the Ottawa Senators and the Toronto Maple Leafs throwing their hat in the ring.
"The Senators are likely to acquire a starting goaltender this summer. They reportedly made an offer to Boston for Linus Ullmark, and are expected to circle back in the near future. #GoSensGo
Is Ullmark the right choice? Jacob Markström and Juuse Saros have also been linked." "The Leafs, along with about six other teams, are all expected to pursue Linus Ullmark in the coming weeks. [via: @TFP]

However, David Pagnotta of the Fourth Period shared that Linus Ullmark will not be heading to Toronto and is unlikely to head to the Senators either. The Maple Leafs are on his no-trade list, and though Ottawa might be, he seems more willing to waive his clause for the right deal.
"The Leafs are not in the mix for Ullmark, though, as Toronto is on his no-trade list. Ottawa is also believed to be on his list, but two separate sources have told me he would accept a trade to the Senators if a deal between the two teams is finalized."
With other teams deep in trade talks on potentially pulling in this star goaltender, it is uncertain where Linus Ullmark will end up. Regardless, we can put the idea of the Bruin becoming part of the Toronto Maple Leafs to bed.
