Similar enough risk in the AHL though. Worth it to get some reps IMO

Totally here for debate. Bruins need massive moves to get better. Their farm system is barren. No top end help coming from there. Their 1st rounder last year Dean Letourneau has a total of ZERO goals this season at BC in 34 games and only 3 points. Granted you get McAvoy and Lindholm back but you are still about 6-8 good players away from being decent. I don't think Sweeney can draft so that will also impact the rebuild. No big free agents are coming for a rebuild.....

6-8 more good players? There aren't any teams in the NHL who have 6-8 "good" players, never mind 6-8 more over a Rocket winner, and a legit #1 and #2 D. Teams have 1 superstar, two if you are the Oilers or Toronto, a couple good to great others, and a bunch of ELC prospects, aging vets, or bottom of the barrel AHL types to round out the bottom 2 D and 4th line.
Such is the way of the salary cap.

Yes....yes they do.
He's just a better goaltender.
I posted this before, but this helps us see the difference.
Korpi. Quick! Attentive! Agile!View attachment 994708
Swayman. Slow lateral movement. Inattentive. Dopey. Too much lasagna.

This also helps us see how cooler Star Trek is.
Do they really play better or has Korpisalo just gotten the easier games for majority of the season?
Of his 20 starts this season, 10 of them are against bottom 3rd teams in the NHL. Only 4 games have been against top 10 teams as of today's standings.

I disagree..I think Stanley Cup teams have 6-8 good, foundational type players...look at Washington - they got Ovie, Wilson, Strome, Protas, Dubois, McMichael all with over 50 points....thats not counting Oshie or a defense with Carlson, Chychrun....Dallas has 6 players over 50 points...Bruins have 1.
Uh, except for us Bruins fans who live in Toronto. Does that help narrow it down some?

I don't think that is true.

Protas had never broken 30pts before this season and McMichael had a career high of 33pts before this season. Are the "foundational players" or just having career years because the entire team is hot. Wilson has a single 50pt season in his 12yr career and he's on pace for almost 70pts this season.
Are these the new norms for these guys or just a career year that they won't replacate again.

no one is going to offer even a first round pick for him after this season and his current contract

I'd give him a piggyback ride to San Jose. While he's in full equipment. Wouldn't have to ask twice. And I am of the mindset that Sway will be better next year.

I think the Leafs would offer a first rounder in hopes of erasing the loss of Rask

My wife and I went to see Jay Leno in Burbank not too long before he retired, and Leno was actually witty and funny
..and probably the last good late night show host IMO
Kimmel is not funny, and seems to cry more than he laughs

I don't know him personally (and wouldn't want to). I've never liked his weird sense of humour, and do not think he's funny, and he can't stop talking about politics, or preaching and crying on his show...which is NOT what I want to see when I go to a late night show for entertainment.
The same thing applies to Colbert, Fallon and Myers ..minus the crying
Leno was the last late night talk show host who was actually funny, and had a very entertaining show, without talking about politics all the time...and I don't ever remember him preaching or crying on his show
Johnny Carson was (by far) the greatest late night talk show host of all time ..AINEC

Korpisalo just gets the easier matchups so we look better against the dogshit teams
