Ullmark has been great for the Bruins during his time with the team, he won the Vezina Trophy last year and helped the Bruins get to where they were in the regular season.
Without him the Bruins might have not been in the same spot, as the goalie rotation was phenomenal for the team during the regular season, but Ullmark is clearly upset with the Bruins after what happened during the playoffs.
During the playoffs Jeremy Swayman was the clear number one goalie for the Bruins playing in 12 out of 13 games. Jim Montgomery broke away from his goalie rotation for the first time and Linus Ullmark wasn't happy.
During the exit interviews Linus Ullmark made it clear that he wasn't happy and made it seem like he will not be back with the team next year.
Some fans weren't too found of Ullmarks comments and wished that he did waive his NTC to be traded.
Linus Ullmark is clearly good enough to be a starting goaltender in the NHL and even though him and Jeremy Swayman are good friends, that might not be enough for him to want to stay around and be a back up.
Ultimately Linus Ullmark has full control of what happens as he has a 16 team NTC on his last year of his deal.
