Boston Bruins 24-25 Roster/Cap thread - Linus traded to Sens

[Dr Hook]

Correct


Double retention can get you to 25%. Happened a bunch.

According to puckpedia maximum retention is 50%. Sens have 25%, Bruins retain 25% which equals 50% which is what I said originally.

Retained Salary | Puckpedia

When teams trade a player, they can retain, or keep, some of the players' salary and cap hit. The team keeps a % of both the cap hit and salary for the remainder of the contract. Therefore, if a Player with a Salary of $2.0M and a Cap Hit/AAV of $3.0M is traded with 20% retention, the trading...

Are we still pretending like the bruins are bad at drafting?

The draft is that bad doesn’t matter who’s drafting it’ll be shit luck to hit on that pick..

The deal is definitely disappointing. I'm not trying to downplay that fact, but...

We don't know how limited Ullmark's NTC made this deal. He could have blocked all the teams that wanted him. Remember what we paid for Taylor Hall because of his NTC. I know Ullmark was only 16 or 17 teams, but if you put the 5 teams that need goalies on that list then Ullmark has control. My guess is they had a deal in place for a singed Ullmark, (which was the one we heard about and were excited about) and they had a deal in place for an unsigned Ullmark which is what we got.

Yup

Max is 50% in one deal. You can go 50% then 50%. It’s why some teams have been used as a go between.

Why is it a priority when you have Beecher, Boqvist, Brazeau, Kuntar, Lauko…???

I would rather see a Beecher-Kuntar-Brazzeau line

But nope. We got Kastellic.
Nothing against the guy but WHY?!?!?

I hear what you are saying but why now? Why not let a market develop? Maybe some of the goalies go down on his OK list? Maybe in January Linus is getting anxiety over not having a contract extension as a back up in Boston? Bruins had some leverage as well and pissed it away.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Korpisalo did have a .920 SV%in 31 games with the Blue Jackets in 2016 according to hockeydb.

 

[DKH]

I’m drafting at 25

Solid group

 

[CapeCodder442]

I like Linus… I wish him well

 

[SPLBRUIN]

I definitely don't plan on listening to the local Ottawa TSN sports radio tomorrow, they will literally be amazed that the Sens could pull off a trade in which they acquire Ullmark and dump Korpisalo. Does anybody in the know have any inclination if Sweeney will buyout Korpisalo. The buyout seems like a no-brainer to me.

[bruinmann77]

Terrible move only saved 2 million. Got a goalie no body wanted and has to pay him 3 million. But got a late first who donnie will be looking to move at the draft. DS needs to really hit some big hits in FA

[Gee Wally]

I don't think this is true. I think the Bruins can retain half of what his current cap hit is in Boston.

I believe you are right.

 

[dredeye]

I really can’t stand Sweeney. What an awful return. The first should be to take Kopisalo so this is basically Ullmark for kastelic. Sweeney is terrible

 

[Dr Hook]

Max is 50% in one deal. You can go 50% then 50%. It’s why some teams have been used as a go between.

So Bruins can retain 50% of what they owe Korpi? I stand corrected and happy to be so, as that would make him more affordable to flip and still not be painful to keep if the return is good.

 

[The don godfather]

I saw some korpi highlights when he was with Columbus. The guy was a beast and it wasnt that long ago. With Ottawa retaining some of that contract its sweet. Hoping korpi finds his game here and with our goaltending success and structure here I think he will.

I know i was pressing 'post reply' I was half laughing thinking to myself "I wonder how long it takes for someone to call me out on this".

Yes. But no one will take him even at that so it’s a moot point.

3 mil for four years.

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

idk, I think it was always about freeing up money and getting a first round pick back. I suspect it was the higher first if Ullmark signed an extension. Since he didn't, it's the lower first.

I actually like Kastelic coming back. He plays like a Bruin and will fit in well. Not going to alter the universe or anything but he might surprise you. He can be mean like Bennett.

Korpisalo coming back I get from Ottawa's perspective but don't really like it. He was horrible last year. Mind you, he was better before Ottawa so maybe with a good D in front of him he can be a serviceable back up? idk, I'd rather flip him and go with Bussi. Not sure there's anywhere to flip him to though. Not this year anyway. Maybe if he has a comeback year but not now, Gonna lose Bussi if we keep him and that sucks as I remember that preseason game last year where Bussi was lights out great and that made me think he might have an NHL future if/when we dealt Ullmark.

I won't judge Sweeney until after free agency myself.

 

[KOZ37]

Don't hold your breath buddy!

I know he isn't much for big game hunting, but I'm hoping the scoring issues against Florida are still stuck in his head. But yeah I'm realistic.

Hate to say it but even if he swings and misses with his free agent pickups nothing will happen. Status quo for this team it seems.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

I wish my customers I had back when I did sales were as impressionable as Sweeney.

“Yea I’m giving you a shit deal, but just think of how good the value will be if you can take my shit products and turn them into positives?”

 

[KrejciWinger]

I'd argue dumping 3 million AAV for 4 years costs a low 1st minimum

Sens got Ullmark for free
