If $$ was not an issue, could the Sens theoretically bury Korpi in the AHL so it doesn't count against the cap and then sign a new goalie?
Traded Korpisalo (5 years/20M)
- Thread starter Matsens15
- Start date
All but 1.1 million counts against the cap while burried. so he would still be almost 3M against the cap.

1.2 million of cap is buried, goes up 50k a year I think. Rest is cap so 2.8 million
Geez...Guess we're stuck with the guy. Thx for the intel!

I wonder whether people think Staois explored trading Korpisalo already around the deadline and there wasn’t much interest?
Perhaps this is why he says Korpisalo's numbers will improve?
Time for rampant speculation and theories. LOL.

It would shock me if he didn't listen on Korpisalo.
Apparently the trade didn't get done because he wasn't sure which team the tumbleweed he heard.from was GM of..

Yes, and that would also make sense with Staois' “no buyout” statements in the interview. If teams thought the Senators would buy out Korpisalo and had any interest in him (yes, strange concept), then they’d just wait until he’s bought out.

Well, look on the brightside. Korpisalo is statistically very unlikely to be as bad as he was this past season and with the eye treatment happening, might he even be average?
Would be a huge gamble for Staios to go into next season with Korpisalo in net and focus on improving other areas, but might it work if the eye surgery goes well?

I can't imagine us going with the same tandem next season, but if we get someone like Stolarz or Broissoit, and Korpisalo is still here as the backup, I could a bounce back season where he's closer to league average.

Skinner on the Oilers gives me Korpy vibes- like how he plays 1 good game and everyone is like "this guy is awesome! Seems like we found 'our guy'!" And then the next game lets in like 5 goals on 8 shots. 
I assume the goal is to find a guy this summer who can give us 50+ starts, unload Forsberg and hope Korpisalo can give us 30ish starts with a bounce back to league average.

Teams are able to move guys all the time that people have said they are untradable or unmovable, it happens every yr. Players have bounce back yrs all the time after sucking one yr or they get a change of scenery & become a better player. It happens.

This is true, but there's some precedent with Campbell's contract/situation/play looking almost identical.
Surely, Edmonton would have moved him if it were possible. And Campbell had a much better resume prior to their collapses.

That’s what happened to bobrovsky last game though.Skinner on the Oilers gives me Korpy vibes- like how he plays 1 good game and everyone is like "this guy is awesome! Seems like we found 'our guy'!" And then the next game lets in like 5 goals on 8 shots.
Yes but Bob had 10 great games in a row before that.

Skinner isn't as bad as Korpisalo, lets be real here, but he's not at Bobrovsky's level, that's for sure.

Nah, Skinner has some of the worst fundamentals in the league, and is slow as hell.Skinner on the Oilers gives me Korpy vibes- like how he plays 1 good game and everyone is like "this guy is awesome! Seems like we found 'our guy'!" And then the next game lets in like 5 goals on 8 shots.
Korpisalo is actually great reflexively and has great lateral movement; however, they both have the brain fart disease.

Not sure about the “hidden” part especially with the lack of availability of tenders.Stolarz might be the hidden gem here

Enough GMs might have cold feet in giving a backup goalie full time expectations.
But I think this is where Staios needs to be bold.
