Linus Ullmark famously invoked his no-trade clause and the trade fell through. However, Jeff Marek and Elliotte Friedman believe this offseason could be a good time for those talks to resume. The trade would include star Hurricanes forward Martin Necas heading to Boston.

If they do end up moving him Linus Ullmark would be a great player to get in return potentially.
