The Linus Ullmark trade between the Boston Bruins and Ottawa Senators is still in its early stages, but initial assessments favor the Bruins. Ullmark, now a Senator, has struggled with a 2-4-0 record and a .892 save percentage, while the Senators sit near the bottom of the Atlantic Division.

In contrast, the Bruins have seen positive contributions from Joonas Korpisalo and Mark Kastelic, with Kastelic emerging as a key player on the fourth line. The Bruins also acquired a first-round draft pick, which they used on promising center Dean Letourneau.
