No idea . lol
Savard deserved the criticism he got and he's said as much. He was already exceptional offensively and his on ice vision was the best in the game. Fans were on him just as much as Claude and the coaching staff were. Savvy put in the work and within a year, was one of the best overall players in the league.
He looked really good yesterday versus the habs basically the player you just described and I came away impressed because there wasn't any showboating or trying to do to much, At-least during the part of the game I watched.lol
Not a shitty goalie, just a shitty contract
Judging by the potential cap numbers starting next season, Korpi's deal won't be a blip on the radar. I'd say he earned his salary this season.
I am not knocking Korpi, and I would like to see Di Pietro work out. I think Korpi has played very well. I will say lot of money tied up in goalies when you have other needs.
From the tiny bit I've seen of him, he's definitely improved, especially under Cronin. I do like his vision and I think he's got tremendous upside but with them desperate to offload him, I worry about how much it would cost to bring him to Boston and I also question how he fits in if he won't play center.
DiPetro may be putting up solid numbers in Providence but unless someone gets hurt (knock on wood that doesn't happen) there is simply no reason to entertain a call up at this point. Boston has 2 goalies for the price of one (Bobrovsky in FL) and Price in Montreal (who isn't even playing). Next year, Shesterkin is going to cost about the same as our TWO goalies combined.
Honestly I have no clue. A quick google search and that is what popped up.
Well there you go. There were rumors last season that Zegras was on the block, but nothing materialized so I reckon they weren't that desperate to move him. This season I haven't heard tthat they are actively shopping him. What I've seen lately is speculative articles suggesting team A is interested or team B should try to get him. He gets mentioned here because last season some were throwing his name out there as a Sweeney target when he was allegedly being shopped.
I will always overrate Savvy and I make no apologies for it. Zegras certainly has upside at 23 but I want to know how they plan to utilize him to maximize his growth and production. I'm not trading assets for someone we don't necessarily need.
I did a deeper dive and it looks like a lot of the chatter from last season picked up when Zegras went down with a knee injury and has become louder in wake of the Rantanen trade.
Dom came out and said a source of his,had said Sweeney and Verbeek have been talking, so that as well spurred the speculation.
It makes no sense as to why they'd want to deal him but teams do strange shit all the time. Thanks for explaining where he would fit on the B's especially long term.
