NHL Insider Suggests Market For Star Goaltender Is Getting Hot

The trade deadline is getting hot already, and with some shockers on Wednesday, it appears we are in for a thrilling 2024 deadline period.
Linus Ullmark potentially on the move?
Even after a Wednesday that saw the likes of Sean Walker, Bowen Byram, Adam Henrique and Casey Mittelstadt on the move, there's still plenty in store over the next two days.
According to Insider Pierre LeBrun, we may see another shocker coming soon, as he has suggested that the New Jersey Devils could still be in play for former Vezina Trophy winning goaltender Linus Ullmark.
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?
Thus far, Boston have been adamant that they won't be moving either of their star net minders at the deadline, but with a genuine need up front, perhaps the Devils can entice them into a move.
LeBrun does make it clear however that Jacob Markstrom is still the Devils top target, and with the Flames looking at a lengthy rebuild, that's the deal that makes most sense for both parties, but in the case that falls apart, don't discount an Ullmark deal.
