Ullmark’s new contract has a no-move clause and is paid fully in base salary, with no signing bonuses. He’ll earn $7M in 2025-26, $8M in 2026-27, and then $9M each year for the last two years of the deal. This ends a short period of uncertainty for the Sens, who traded away their No. 25 draft pick, Joonas Korpisalo, and Mark Kastelic to get the Vezina Trophy winner from the Bruins. Now at 31 years old, Ullmark won’t become a free agent again soon and will spend his prime years playing in Ottawa.
His contract doesn’t come cheap; he’s not giving his new team any discounts compared to his market value. With an $8.25M cap hit, it’s identical to what Jeremy Swayman got to stay long-term with Boston. Although Ullmark is older and has been above average for five straight years as a goalie, he might not have gotten a better deal elsewhere .
Fans might wonder if this was the right move for both parties involved.
Contract Comparisons:
Swayman’s recent contract seems to have reset expectations for goalies’ earnings. Before he signed it, many would have doubted Ullmark could secure a deal just $250K less annually than Connor Hellebuyck’s extension with Winnipeg—a more established top-tier goalie. Now Ullmark ranks as one of the highest-paid goalies next season but will eventually drop down slightly on that list.
Earlier in his career with Buffalo until 2021, Ullmark transitioned to Boston with a four-year deal worth $20M after showing promise despite limited playtime there. In Boston, he shined brightly alongside rookie Swayman when Tuukka Rask retired.
Performance Highlights:
Winning the Vezina Trophy during an outstanding season where he played fewer than 50 games was rare but well-deserved due to his remarkable stats: .938 SV%, 1.89 GAA over 49 appearances! His efforts helped lead Boston through an incredible record-breaking regular season—65 wins! Even though last year saw some regression statistically (.915 SV%, sixth place Vezina voting), he remained among top-tier goalies league-wide while Swayman gradually took over starting duties more often throughout playoffs too!
For Ottawa acquiring him addresses their biggest weakness between pipes—hopefully ending seven-year playoff drought soon enough thanks largely due improved goaltending now available via this acquisition alone potentially making significant difference overall outcome moving forward positively impacting team success trajectory altogether ultimately resulting better future prospects ahead hopefully realized sooner rather than later ideally speaking optimistically looking forward optimistically perhaps?
