Cmon, this is a terrible trade. To take on another goalie without them giving an asset to do so is criminal. This is such a shit trade. Sweeney doesn’t have it in trades or assessing the pro player. He just doesn’t. There is nothing that says it was even a hockey trade. I don’t subscribe to the fleecing the next guy shit. This is just incompetence. Neely should be assessing his buddy after this shit. Get ready because he’s going to screw up FA too. I can just see it.
Move WHO out for Wood? Korpi or Bussi? He's buying the balloons, and hot dogs for the "draft party" tonight at Market Basket!! We gonna have a party! Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!I just don't understand where Korpisalo fits in...If Bussi is waived he will definitely be claimed
The trade could actually be worse if you lose Bussi for nothing
So I guess the plan is to
a) Waive Korpi and hope he gets claimed
b) Waive Bussi and hope he doesn't get claimed (unlikely)
c) Buyout Korpi over 8 freaking years
d) Move Korpi out now (by possibly retaining) or taking on another equally bad contract?
I just don't understand why Sweeney would put himself into a position like this just for pick 25. I like Kastelic for what its worth but its a 4th liner
Maybe they look to move him to Colorado for Miles Wood?
There has to be another shoe to drop. If the intention is to play Korpi (option b) and waive Bussi, this deal could look even worse especially if Korpisalo doesn't rebound
Unfortunily my sons kept texting me asking me to explain how this could be real lolHappy Anniversary.
You dont want to know.
They have their 2025 3rd so it is possible, but I doubt Sweeney does it.no third.
And Kastellic out hits and plays a consistent physical game. I would have preferred Duhaime, Lomberg or Sherwood who hit and can fly but I really don't want another year of Lauko as the Bruins toughest 4th liner
47 goals on one jr season.yes not NHL. I will Waite to see how he does this year.Were there no "Mark Kastelics" available in free agency?
Kastelic is exactly the type of player that has crippled this franchise for decades. Can't skate. No skill. A modern day Jeff Odgers and that's is being cruel to Jeff Odgers.
Sweeney really struggles when he's the one dealing the best player in the deal.
Hope that first rounder can be used in a trade for Necas.
What, no draft party? WTF?!?Hope that first rounder can be used in a trade for Necas.
Demolished the team? We are talking about the 2015 roster that missed the playoffs and had Jimmy Hayes and Ryan Spooner playing in the top six. That’s the depth you’re talking about?14 years????? Sweeney arrived in 2015...and he did a great job in the 2015 draft lollll he inherited a roster with a ton of depth and he completely demolished the team and its pipeline...good luck for the 14 coming years

Even drinking a few rusty nails I had no answer lol
We only give away assets to rid back bad contracts, this deal sucksCmon, this is a terrible trade. To take on another goalie without them giving an asset to do so is criminal.

Hmmm- Bruins can retain 25% on Korpi as you can’t go past 50% total on retention. They can flip and retain 25% and 50% retained Korpi would be attractive to a number of teams that need goaltending. Hope that is the thinking and another deal is in the works.
He is not thaaaat slow lolBeecher can skate circles around him.
