Ullmark is expected to be traded this off-season given that he lost his starter role to Jeremy Swayman. He is expected to generate lots of interest on the trade market with teams like Ottawa, Toronto being potential suitors. However, Linus Ullmark speaking badly about the Leafs and Samsonov may not make him keen on joining the Maple Leafs in a potential trade.
Samsonov ended up starting game seven despite young goaltender Joseph Woll taking over the net for games five and six, leading them to two consecutive victories forcing a game seven, which gives Ullmark a valid point to why he even played game seven after all. A costly decision by head coach Sheldon Keefe.
