I believe that Korpisalo wasn’t pushed on Donny, I think he is anticipating a problem getting Sway signed so Korps is a stopgap option until the contract is resolved. I believe Korpisalo can carry the load early on because of our strong D and hopefully goalie Bob can fix a couple of things if need be.

I heard that Sway was around yesterday at “evaluation camp” checking things out. He had a big smile on his face so hopefully a good sign. Even though Sway comes across as Master Yoda all the time so you never know what’s behind that smile. |

Guys with Korpilselo and his contract do Brandon Bussi REALLY have a chance?? IF Bussi is by far better preseason, will is really make much differnce?? Right at this moment, I hate Bruins having to pay Korp 3 mil next 4 yrs when we have not only Bussi but also Dipietro primed and ready for at least a chance..This is why I dont like the idea of bringing in this guy...I like the odds of the Providence duel for back up..

I like the idea of having Korpisalo first of all as leverage. If Swayman is asking for too much we can start the season with Korpisalo and Bussi. If Sway signs and Korpisalo finds his game out of camp we can potentially have a duo as good as the past couple of years. If Bussi has a better camp than Korpisalo we keep Bussi up with the team and send Korpisalo down. If Korpisalo gets claimed (very doubtful) all the better. |

Oh for sure there could be big benefits having Korp around especially if Swayman isnt signed by season opener..I just dont want one of the Prov boys to have a great preseason only to get sent back down...Hoping it all works out as a good problem to have.. |

New Bruins Goalie Is Big Bounce-Back Candidate
Earlier this offseason, the Boston Bruins acquired Joonas Korpisalo from the Ottawa Senators as part of the Linus Ullmark trade. The 30-year-old joining Boston is notable, as he is under contract until the end of the 2027-28 season. In addition, even with the Senators retaining 25% of his contract, he still carries a not-so-cheap $3 million cap hit for the Bruins.
The addition of Korpisalo surprised a good amount of Bruins fans, especially when noting that he struggled mightily this past season. In 55 games as the Senators' starter, he had a 21-26-4 record, a 3.27 goals-against average (GAA), and a .890 save percentage (SV%). It was a year to forget for the 2012 third-round pick, but now his goal will be to get things back on track with the Bruins this upcoming season.
While Korpisalo had a disastrous 2023-24 season, there is reason to believe he could bounce back next season for the Bruins. With the Senators last season, he had a shaky defensive group in front of him. However, with this move to Boston, he will now have one of the NHL's best defenses in front of him. This, in turn, could benefit the nine-year veteran greatly.
Furthermore, just back in 2022-23, Korpisalo put together an excellent season. In 39 games split between the Columbus Blue Jackets and Los Angeles Kings, he had an 18-14-4 record, a .914 SV%, and a 2.87 GAA. However, after being traded to the Kings and having a better defense in front of him, he played his best hockey of the season. In 11 regular-season games with LA, he had a 7-3-1 record, a 2.13 GAA, and a .921 SV%.
Nevertheless, while the Bruins' addition of Korpisalo undoubtedly carries a good amount of risk, he has the potential to bounce back in Boston. If he turns things around, he could be a very solid backup for the Bruins once restricted free agent Jeremy Swayman signs his new deal.

If Sway signs before camp, a big if, I can see Korpisalo getting sent down and not getting claimed.Bussi on the other hand will most likely get claimed and we lose a good goalkeeper for nothing in return.

I believe thats the very worst that could happen and you just might be right..Donny never should of took Korp back, we simply didnt need him with 2 great prospects who played great with the Baby Bruins for awhile now..Before the Ullmark trade I was really looking forward to watching Bussi and Dipietro in exibition games vying for the back up role..Both were so good last season and deserves this without a doubt yet we have Korpiselo..Regardless if Korp plays lights out for the Bruins, it still dont make sense getting him in the first place..Donny let Reid Dyke walk cause we had an influx of young goalies in the system..My question is: Why even have any of them if they only get replaced over and over by an outside goalie like Korp..3 Million a season for next 4 years makes Ottawa the winner of this trade in my opinion and a kick in the[where it hurts] for Bussi and Dipietro..Our backup should be costing us $775,000 this season instead of 3 million, 3 million that COULD of went toward Swaymans contract..I dunno, maybe I'm gone off the radar altogether but seems we done Ottawa a huge favor taking on his salary or 75% of it and we're banking on that 25th pick being a good player in a few years from now..Maybe in the end it all works out but Bruins already have over 4 million invested in goaltending, Ully was only a mil more..So whatever Swayman gets plus 4 million for Korp, Bussi/Dipietro.. |

I guess if the Swayman deal doesn't get done we couldn't risk starting the season with Bussi and Dipietro. We needed Korpisalo's experience to gain some leverage on the situation. Plus as you said by taking Korpisalo we got our first round pick back.

Sweeney has said...for what it is worth...that Korp is not going anywhere (traded, bought out or sent down).

Thats my problem right there with picking up Korpiselo..I'm just as comfortable if not more beginning season with Dipietreo and Bussi than I am Korp and either of the other 2.. They competed against each other in Prov all last season and a half and both seem well ready for nhl work..In saying that, I trust Sweeney's judgement more than my own actually so just hope everything works out well for Sweeney and our Bruins..Whether we got a good deal for Ullmark wont be decided until we see how Dean Letourneau turns out..Great promise and love his size..DS may have went off the board a little to draft him but In understand why he did.. |
