In the photo, it shows both his kids wearing Senators uniforms with Ullmark sown in and Both holding the mascot saying they are ready for the season. This sight may trouble some Bruins fans as general manager Don Sweeney and his team have not solidified a new contract for Bruins starting goaltender Jeremy Swayman.
Ullmark, the former Vezina trophy winner had one year remaining on his contract and held a cap hit of $5 million. The Bruins made a choice in sending him to the Senators as they were deciding that Swayman is their goaltender, but contract negotiations have not gone well.
Ullmark had 40 starts last year and went on a record of 39-22-10 with the goals against of 2.57 and a save percentage of Point 915. Those stats are certainly solid for any team and as the conversation continues and negotiations unfold, it may appear that the Bruins have made a mistake in their decision with Ullmark as the Bruins and Swayman have not gone to arbitration.
Until Swayman has been solved, the fan base may remain uneasy as the Bruins had one of the best tandems in the NHL.
