Boston Bruins 024-2025 Roster & Salary Cap Discussion VII

[Fire Sweeney]

I'm wondering if they'll flip Korp like they did with Martin Jones

Careful what you wish for, he might be flipped for Tristan Jarry and Michael Bunting

 

[JCRO]

You arguably COULDVE gotten more for Ully at the trade deadline. And you didn’t HAVE to trade him right now/at all.

 

[sleepyh]

At least we finally have a 1st round pick..

 

[Sheppy]

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

Korpisalo is an alarmingly bad goalie, man.

 

[GatorMike]

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

The deal has officially been announced.

 

[Alicat]

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

Ullmark held all the cards here. He waived his NMC to go to Ottawa.

 

[BruinDust]

Well, at least there goes the argument that Sweeney could of obtained a contributing player for Ullmark at the deadline.

 

[CDJ]

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.

Color me baffled for now.

They wanted to get tougher and wanted to get back into the 1st round, this does both.

I’d have preferred they cleared more salary but ultimately they’ve got some money to work with and I imagine this is going to potentially be a crazy offseason so perhaps they clear money elsewhere


Not suggesting they hit a home run, but for a rental Ullmark that will work imo

 

[LouJersey]

Someone wants in on management stat.

 

[TCB]

The deal has officially been announced.

Lol
It can’t be right

 

[N o o d l e s]

Chychrun and a 1st LMAO

 

[bbfan419]

If this is the final deal, how can anyone say Sweeney is a top 5 GM, more like a bottom 5.

 

[Oates2Neely]

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?

Why take him on at all? I’d gladly pay Ullmark 5m for one more year than pay Korpisalo 3m for 4 more years. What a joke of a trade. What are we supposed to be excited about here? A 25th pick in a crap draft? Joe Pisano for 4 more years? Or a JAG prospect? And to boot we don’t gain much cap space for dealing Ullmark. Absolutely BRUTAL

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Is that sarcasm from Razor?

 

[Absurdity]

So the the return for Ullmark was a 1st and then Kastelic the throw in for obtaining Korpisalo? Maroon is probably gone. Hopefully Korpisalo is bought out. Not a great deal honestly. Bruins should have got more for doing a division rival favors.

 

[Alicat]

Someone wants in on management stat.

Or he's privvy to a hell of a lot more information than all of us on HF Boards.

 

[SPV]

I don’t think Korpi is here any longer than Martin Jones. But I guess we’ll see

 

[wintersej]

What the f*** is that return

 

[ranold26]

Here's my prediction...
Korpi will go 18-7-5 in 30 games next year.
Ullmark in OTT.... all bets are off, but he's not doing what he did in Boston. Ottawa needs upgrades everywhere

 

[UncleRico]

I would like to formally apologize for talking shit and saying Ullmark playing 35-40 games a year and riding the bench for 1 more year was a detriment to the team.

I didn’t know four years of Korpisalo was coming back my way. I didn’t know how much worse it could get.

I would do anything to have 1 year of Ullmark back

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

So, now the debate is:

Would have keeping Linus and trying again at the TDL gotten a better return? Would keeping him make the team better than our return for him?

 

[Coach Parker]

Love korpi hes solid.

What are you even talking about right now? Do I really have to dig up all your Chychrun posts over the last two weeks? This is a bad deal.

 

[Kazcram]

Don is probably thinking Korpi can play good here and then trade him at the deadline for something good?

 

[TCB]

Donny waited to long to play his hand. Should of dealt Ullmark a year ago
