Boston Bruins 024-2025 Roster & Salary Cap Discussion VII

[KillerMillerTime]

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.

The deal is awful. Just keep Ullmark.

 

[UncleRico]

If I knew how to setup a poll I'd ask:

A) Trade that just happened

B) Stand pat (Ullmark walks)

C) Trade Swayman for a haul and sign Ullmark for 5 years @ 7 million

would we trust Sweeney to get a haul for swayman after what we just saw?

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

Korpi has the tools to be a number 1 he has shown it before. This is a buy low with that retention. The 1st is sweet. The thing is linus is being stubborn to where he wants to go and not sign a extension. Not bad return.

Sweeney “ hey I’ve got this wonderful Lexus coming off its lease. It’s been solid, won a best in class award recently, zero issues when it’s well maintained, and has been worth every penny. You’ll need to figure out if you want to buy it out or not, may need to negotiate with the dealer. Worst case you can flip it again right before the lease is up to recoup cost. What can you give me?”


Staios “well I’ve got this piece of shit truck that runs every now and then that leaks oil like a sieve and has 4 more years left on the loan. I also have a lottery ticket and a run of the mill mini van that are available for next to nothing if you look on the market.”

Sweeney “ sounds good to me. I just need to put the work in to fix the truck and hope it’s not something catastrophically wrong, hit on the lottery ticket, and hope this run of the mill mini van runs well enough for what I need for. Then that should be fair value.

Done deal”

 

[Bruinaura]

What a shock this was announced during Game 7 LOL

 

[LouJersey]

Lets be honest Lou, how many of those 17 teams though were calling looking for Ullmark? His agent (like any good agent) was able to craft a list that essentially allowed him to have full say on where he was traded to.

So explain Markstrom then? Also explain why it needed to be done now? Literally no reason to make the deal now.

 

[GoBs]

How old is this guy Kastelic

 

[Therick67]

Swayman's agent can use this as leverage now. Surprised they didn't deal with that first

We know Swayman didn’t love the process last year, so if he can now squeeze out a few more bucks - why wouldn’t he?

 

[ON3M4N]

For those wondering about a 2nd move of Korpisalo. I'm wondering if LAK is that team. The same team that acquired him at the TDL 2 seasons ago. Yes they just traded for Kuemper, but at $3 million it'd put LAK with $8.2 million tied up in goalies. Both goalies showing flashes of being able to be a #1 before.

 

[Gordoff]

I really tried finding a...good thing about this trade.

But I can't find anything positive about this at all.


I genuinely don't understand it. Still bewildered by it.

Well, it overshadows 2015, so there's that!

 

[ON3M4N]

So explain Markstrom then? Also explain why it needed to be done now? Literally no reason to make the deal now.

What do you want me to explain about Markstrom?

 

[Tbaybruin]

Brutal. Just brutal. Keep Ullmark for Christ sake at that point.

I feel like when July 1st comes and there’s a couple of high end cars available with the money we have, we will then spend the money on 5 Chevettes

Yes keep Jesus

Korpi has the tools to be a number 1 he has shown it before. This is a buy low with that retention. The 1st is sweet. The thing is linus is being stubborn to where he wants to go and not sign a extension. Not bad return.

That first sentence.

Sure, if the tools were a broken spatula and paper straw.

 

[Gordoff]

How old is this guy Kastelic

He's only 59 but it's a young 59!

Basically this

Lets hope there is another move coming. I like your thinking.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Anyone know when the buyout dates start ? My only hope for this terrible trade is for Korpisalo to be bought out.

 

[JRull86]

How do we know this? Better yet, why would an NHL team claim a goalie with ZERO NHL games knowing they have to keep him on the roster all year or offer him back to Boston.

Given the amount of dogshit goaltending in the league, a guy in a cheap deal who looks NHL ready from his Providence numbers would probably be claimed. You really don't think a team like SJ, ANA, etc wouldn't roll the dice? I do.

 

[Mad Dr Pepper]

What a shock this was announced during Game 7 LOL

They time things, that's just a fact. They try to hide themselves.

 

[Mione134]

Well, it overshadows 2015, so there's that!

I think people will bring up 2015 for decades.

It's never going away

 

[LouJersey]

What do you want me to explain about Markstrom?

Full NMC

 

[Lord Ahriman]

Didn't expect a big return, but boy, that's absolutely atrocious.

 

[PatriceBergeron]

The Bruins were able to flip Jones for a 1st in 2015 because he was a great prospect who was stuck behind Quick.

No GM is taking Korpisalo unless the Bruins are attaching assets with him

 

[Sheppy]

Good god almighty, that’s Jeff Fingers music!

 

[Gordoff]

Not to

Not to mention the rust holes we call "weight reduction."

 

[UConn126]

Not to defend SweeNeely, but Korpisalo regain form and plays good behind our D, SweeNeely are going to look like geniuses to have him under contract for 3m 4yrs etc.

+ Maybe Bob Essenza works a little magic too.
