However, this very bond could be the reason behind potential separation for the duo. Economic constraints imposed by the NHL's salary cap have led to widespread speculation about a trade involving the Bruins' goaltenders.
Ullmark, during his presence in Nashville for the NHL Awards, openly acknowledged contemplating the possibility of being traded this summer.
Swayman's anticipated salary raise after an impressive performance last season is a driving factor behind the potential trade.
While the Bruins would prefer their goaltending tandem to return, Ullmark's contract, which includes a no-trade list of 16 teams, gives him considerable influence over his future destination.
