Linus Ullmark, the goaltender for the Boston Bruins, was notably absent from the team's bench during a game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Speculation arose regarding a potential trade involving Ullmark, with suggestions of a deal with the New Jersey Devils. Devils' GM Fitzgerald expressed interest in acquiring a goalie, emphasizing the importance of the position and the need for the right fit at the right price without jeopardizing the team's future. The trade deadline approach led to discussions about potential goalie options for the Devils, including targeting Markstrom from Calgary or exploring a trade with Ullmark from Boston.
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?

As for #NHLTradeDeadline Fitzy says "I am in the market" for goalie and adds "like to bring back" Tyler Toffoli but sides apart on term so "look at reality of where we're at (in terms of playoffs) in coming days" b4 trade decision #NJDevils
Fitzgerald: "I am in the market (for a goalie). The right personnel for the right price. Not mortaging the future but it's an important position. Our goaltending has not been good enough. That's on me. But it's not that easy (to get a goalie)."
