As trade talks around Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark heat up, reports indicate that he has refused to be traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Linus Ullmark, one of the NHL's top goaltenders, won the Vezina Trophy in 2023 for his impressive save percentage.

However, Ullmark's time in Boston seems to be nearing an end, with several teams showing interest in acquiring him. The Ottawa Senators and the Toronto Maple Leafs are among the teams interested.

"The Senators are likely to acquire a starting goaltender this summer. They reportedly made an offer to Boston for Linus Ullmark, and are expected to circle back in the near future. #GoSensGo

Is Ullmark the right choice? Jacob Markström and Juuse Saros have also been linked."

However, according to David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period, Ullmark will not be heading to Toronto as the Maple Leafs are on his no-trade list. While Ottawa might also be on his list, he seems more open to waiving his no-trade clause for the right deal.

"The Leafs are not in the mix for Ullmark, though, as Toronto is on his no-trade list. Ottawa is also believed to be on his list, but two separate sources have told me he would accept a trade to the Senators if a deal between the two teams is finalized."

With other teams actively pursuing Ullmark, it's uncertain where he will end up. However, it's clear that he won't be joining the Toronto Maple Leafs.
