Traded Linus Ullmark traded to OTT for 25th, Kastelic and Korpisalo(25% retained)

[CanadianHockey]

This was alot less than I thought it would cost to upgrade our goal. Granted retention sucks.

 

[JackieDaytona]

Wowzerz!

 

[JungleBeat]

Good trade.

 

[GCK]

Suck it Bettman. Give us our 1st back or we will trade Chychrun during the 3rd period.

 

[Sens Vader]

What a f***ing win by Steve

A first and Kastelic should be the cost to dump Korpi alone

 

[SpezDispenser]

No f***ing takebacks!

 

[HSF]

staois cleaning up

lol at people thinking Chuchrun and a 1st were going

 

[BigRig4]

So instead of buying out Korpisalo for 8 years at 1.3m, we get him off the books for less than half of that at 4 years by 1m. Masterclass.

There were a lot of people very happy about the DBC and Chychrun trades when they happened (not everyone, but a lot), but they didn't come with extensions. So you have to ask, what will one think sometime in the next year if there is no extension? Because Korpi is going the other way, it's hard to see this one being as catastrophic if that happens.

Also, this tells you what the market really was. Boston is not stupid. They took the best deal they had. Not unlike unloading DBC a year ago.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

No extension tho. It there can’t be anyway

 

[Dionysus]

Nice piece of work. Patience paid of here. Not cheap eating 1mil a year for 4 years, but needed to be done.

Now just need to get Ullmark signed at a reasonable number!

 

[SensBrawler]

I like it. Hopefully we can get him signed to a reasonable extension.

Fingers crossed that we finally have our starting goalie. He doesn't need to be Vezina caliber. Just play like an actual starter.

 

[CallSaul]

Honestly this is an incredible trade even if it’s for 1 year of Ullmark, but from what I’ve seen, he’s hoping to resign here.

We would’ve had to buy out Korpisalo so a late 1st to see what we can do with real goaltending is more than worth it.

 

[Artanis]

Amazing move for Staios. Korpisalo dump would of atleast costed a 1st.

 

[inthewings]

Staios hit an absolute homerun here. I can’t believe that the 25th pick and Kastelic got the team Ullmark, and saved them 75% of Korpisalo’s cap hit.

First significant move in years that I think is a slam dunk win for this team.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Let the Staios and Poulie era begin

What a move Korpi gone for 1m per year ... no buy out.
Add Ullmark who has to be the prize of available goalies
Get value moving Kastelic .. making room for Ostapchuk or a Vet 4th liner.

 

[Micklebot]

This deserves a live thread...

 

[Masked]

Seems like Staios made the Bruins his Dorion.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Even if he dips next year we’re out of Korpi lol

 

[Emerica]

Plenty of time to work out an extension. Honestly feels like a W even if we just get him for one full year by getting rid of that Korpisalo contract lol

 

[Wondercarrot]

I would have paid this for him as a rental.

 

[Ouroboros]

Sens'd em.

 

[Micklebot]

Even if he dips next year we’re out of Korpi lol

Honestly, I thought it would cost the equivalent of a first to get out of Korpisalo, we basically got Ulmark for free....

 

[Gil Gunderson]

We got cap space to send the Tanevs a truckload of money (if Joseph is moved).

 

[K1900L]

Well, at least the idle 'we suck due to our goaltending'-narrative should come to an end now if even Ullmark won't be at .905+ here.
I'm happy with the trade after all. We improved.
