The Boston Bruins face salary cap challenges, and trading Linus Ullmark may help. Bringing back Daniel Vladar as a skilled and affordable replacement is an attractive option.
Vladar showed potential during his rookie season but was traded to the Calgary Flames. Reacquiring him as a backup to Jeremy Swayman is a smart move. Vladar's cap-friendly contract of $2 million over two years allows the Bruins to create space while maintaining goalie depth.
This move addresses cap concerns and provides a promising goaltender for future success.
