What bad timing for Ottawa, when the trade was made official just minutes before the start of the ultimate Stanley Cup game.

We know that the Senators had been looking for a true #1 goaltender for quite some time now, and that Linus Ullmark was at the heart of trade rumors to change addresses.

The Bruins want to put their faith in Jeremy Swayman, who had a very good season, with a 25-10-8 record, a 0.916 save percentage and a 2.53 goals-against average.

Will the addition of Ullmark propel the Sens to the next level?

They’ll definitely be more competitive.
