Boston Bruins 024-2025 Roster & Salary Cap Discussion VII

[TCB]

If they were gonna eat Korpisalo's contract you'd think they at least get #7 back

Still holding out hope that’s what their getting, until it’s officially announced

 

[shelbysdad]

I sure as hell hope so.

philadelphia?

 

[Fenian24]

I like Kastellic......
Yup I like Kastellic...
Well this is why Sweeney sucks, but kiss enough ass in JJ land you'll be around for a while.

Get ready for free agent signings of Anthony DuClair, Tyler Johnson and Jason Zucker.

 

[The don godfather]

Not a bad trade for a guy who wont sign a extension. Plus our goaltending is solid with sway and korpi.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Swayman has the chance to do the funniest thing

 

[Oates2Neely]

BrUtAl for Boston. Unless Sweeney moves Korpisalo tomorrow morning for a 4th this deal will be his worst deal all time

 

[sarge88]

f*** no I wouldn't be happy with this. Nevermind value, the point of trading him at all was to free up that cap space and they took back their albatross for 4 years.

Maybe.

Won’t argue that it isn’t a great deal, that’s for sure,

 

[Shaun]

1 cup in 50 years because of shit like this

 

[CDJ]

thanks....thats not a horrible hit...........

It’s why ppl thinking they were gonna get pick 7 are a little delulu, especially since everybody knows the cap is growing

 

[Pia8988]

He'll be bought out! No f***ing question! You think Bussi signs that deal he just signed to play two more years in the AHL?

Yes, that is exactly what Bussi did. Day 1 waivers

 

[Oates2Neely]

Not a bad trade for a guy who wont sign an extension. Plus our goaltending is solid with sway and korpi.

Dude knock it off. Korpisalo sucks. Rumors say he was shopped around the league for ANYTHING, and they found zero takers

 

[Fair Warning]

Would’ve rather just kept Ullmark at that return.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Wow that return is horrible.

 

[HuskyBruinPride]

Well this is underwhelming. But only because of the rumors. If you told me during the season we'd get a 1st I'd probably be satisfied. But eating Korpi's contract is totally meh.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

When we rebuild Korpisalo and ship him off for assets in a year or two >>>>


Kastelic is tough WOOOOOHOOOO. And the first I wanted

I guess if anyone can do it Goalie Bob can. But jeez, Korpisalo is awful. .901 SV% is just barely passable backup territory, even allowing that he's mostly played for bad teams. And he's already 30, so finding upside this late won't be easy. I guess Donny isn't convinced about Bussi, which ok fine, bit the money here doesn't make sense. Anyway, just have to see how it pans out.

Kastelic is a shrug, profess I know little about him. Seems like a big body, tough as you say. That's all fine, but dime a dozen.

The 1st is good at least, even if not as high as rumoured.

Color me baffled for now.

 

[Alicat]

 

[LouJersey]

My guess is Korpi's getting bought out after Ottawa eats a portion of his hit and we got a first. Linus held all the cards here

Then keep him. There are also what 17 other teams they could have dealt him to. No chance they buy him out and have him on the cap for 8 years IMO

 

[BruinDust]

He averages 5 faceoffs per game

And under 8 mins. The guy couldn't get more than 8 mins a night on a terrible Sens team over 63 games.

The fact they acquired Kastelic who has lead feet is just further proof they don't understand that they need more speed up front and to purge all the below-average skaters among the forward group. Instead they double down. Kastelic is basically the new Maroon.

Your face is my case

 

[HustleB]

Seems pretty brutal. Does anyone like this for the Bruins?

 

[DaStinger]

I would of just kept linus and goalie shopped next year if korpisalo is the plan, has to be more.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

I love the optimism “maybe they will flip Korp”

Nobody wants that f***ing guy. We are completely stuck with him.

Honestly think this is up there with his worst moves as a GM.

Inexcusably bad.

Exactly, unless Sweeney can find another GM who is as stupid as he is for trading for that terrible contract of Korpisalo.

 

[JCRO]

If they got the 7th overall instead of the 25th, I would’ve understood this trade a lot more.

I am dumbfounded.

Assuming we’re buying out the remainder of the retained contract..

Even the throw in player is meh. My goodness.

 

[GloveSave1]

FWIW, if the Bruins bought out Korpisalo, this would be their cap hits:

2024-25: $0.25 million
2025-26: $0.625 million
2026-27: $1.375 million
2027-28: $1.75 million
2028-29: $1.0 million
2029-30: $1.0 million
2030-31: $1.0 million
2031-32: $1.0 million

Barf. Barf. Barf.

Well this is underwhelming. But only because of the rumors. If you told me during the season we'd get a 1st I'd probably be satisfied. But eating Korpi's contract is totally meh.

Ottawa retained 25% on it and his buyout is pennies if they decide to go that route
