Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread III

[KOZ37]

There is a reason Korpisalo was included in that Ullmark deal.
It's called an insurance policy and I've been hinting about since he was acquired.


Ullmark was going regardless. That bridge was crossed last year, when he was dangled etc.

They could have signed a less expensive option with a lot less term if they really wanted to. Just saying.....

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Wasn't Swayman the one who opted for arbitration last time?

No sure, I would think it was the B's

Sure, but they think Korpi has big upside, think he can rebound too and locked in for 4 years.

Dumb not qualifying Boqvist

One of fastest guys on team

So they wanted to get faster and let go Boqvist & DeBrusk

Yeh ok makes sense

This team better have a plan.

They may have traded the wrong guy

Or they could have just kept Ullmark for a year.

 

[bruinmann77]

Any players let go today should have any interest? First Bruins Fa will be Bertuzzi

Korpisalo will be a different guy with this team.

So an Ullmark/Bussi tandem with Ullmark leaving at the TDL or for free at season's end?

Well they could have extended him. Regardless I am sure they will work things out with Swayman.

 

[DKH]

Great day if you are Merkulov or Lysell

You are not only getting a chance they need you

Silver lining

That’s making at minimum two huge assumptions

1. Ullmark wouldn’t have signed long term if he swayman left

2. Any form of a korpisalo deal would cease to exist if it didn’t happen last week for Ullmark.


Maybe Ullmark signs long term. Maybe the bruins can revisit the korpisalo deal for other players. According to Ty anderson Ottawa had been trying to trade korpisalo since the deadline. Sure it could have been worked later.

Ullmark isn't an 8m+ goalie.
Both our goalies were/are due for big pay days. Both will get them, but possibly somewhere else.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

So we’re taking one report from Seravelli - which isn’t really all that negative, and who never has inside Bruins info - and running with it eh?

Who said you would have needed to pay him 8? He wasn't even asking for that from Ottawa apparently and he likely would have stayed in Boston for less. Not to mention the premise of him staying would have been Swayman asking for too much and being moved.

What the hell did the fans think the hugs where all about? Hey man nice win $$$$$ for us.

You know how it goes.....we get bored easily

You think Ullmark would sign long-term, even after being dangled/shopped for over a year?
Ask yourself this... Why have the Bruins tried to move him and finally did this week?

 

[Over the volcano]

Boqvist was fine at times during the regular season but had a nightmare in the playoffs.

It was inevitable he was being move. The non extension screwed the pooch, that all

Still surprised he didn't sign a long term deal with Ottawa. A full season there could tank his market value.

They moved him because swayman was the #1 and the future goalie and didn’t want to have $5m on the bench.

Hell I wanted him gone too, but now I’m fully eating crow because never in my life did I think it would be for four years of korpisalo.

 

[DKH]

This team better have a plan.

Lindholm
Dillon?
Swayman extended eventually

Lysell & Merkulov & Poitras very important

I’m actually good with this

 

[KrugAvoy]

That's a fireable offense for anyone top to bottom in management if they somehow lose Swayman too
