this x one million. I mean I thought that was the plan with the sub mil wunderkind Bussi.
As bad of a deal as it is, had to take Korpi to get a 1st. and to make Ullmark's last year fit their cap, is my guess.
All the bitching isn't going to undo the deal. Let's see what happens next. I want them to sign Guentzel.

All the best my friend. Keep me posted.
As good as Bussi's future looks, his 2nd year in Prov. wasn't as good as his 1st. I assume they don't trust him to be a #1 if Sway goes down and then you're paying just as much for a goalie you wouldn't want under other circumstances.

Swayman has to be first on Sweeney's mind to get that deal over with. (I'd imagine?)

Most mid to high end player require some sort of NTC or NMC to get them to sing. Especially is they are moving to a new team with that contract.

Yeah @DKH and I figured that would be bare minimum without extension. We never thought Korpi would be involved.
Linus to me is getting some bad advice.
kindness is free brother. We all have plenty to spare and all could use alot of it!Good morning Susan
Today I am spreading love on HF

Just because I don’t think that Donny is trying to ruin this team doesn’t mean I like this trade. I just don’t think the people in the room were trying to either lose assets or not get them on purpose. I’m of the belief that the market dried up hard and fast and Sweeney did his best. Now whether you think he should have held the asset is your opinion and I can’t argue that. I just can’t accept the thought process that the dude who works for Boston is actively trying to do a bad job it’s a childish take at best.

The deal at least makes a lot more sense now. They want to build him into an asset and not just buy him out. They seem to think they can fix him. Still don't like it, but they are good with defensemen and goalies.
I used to not be able to stand that guy but he grew on me the more I watched.

NTC was limited and he would have been asked to waive for a contender so he could start. These guys have more free time than 99% of working parents putting it on his family that he wanted another 2 months in Boston so he can hug the starter vs try to win a Cup and defend his Vezina is odd. I mean maybe he should just refuse to play in road games and do home only so he can spend more time with his family?
If he likes Ottawa after he checks it out I assume he extends before the puck is dropped opening night and gets a huge contract? Sure he has the right to go to free agency but if the deal is there now and its big and long why pass it up? Again now that everything is final this is a move that is very bad for Boston he was able to handcuff us and make sure we were saddled with a bad contract on his way out.
He basically pulled a LeBron here and used all his leverage to make sure the team trading for him wasn't weakened at all. He has a right and all that but as Bruins fans IDK why it should be applauded by us every decision these guys make is family driven to some extent. We got creamed here. Peake trade and Korpisalo is like extending Gryzlyk and Forbort.
Been there done that. I had esophageal cancer in 2006, caught very early. Still had radical surgery at the BIMC. I had CT scans with contrast for 3 years, twice a year until they gave me the ALL CLEAR. Hope you're not claustrophobic!
I believe Peeke > Gryz or Forbort at this point in their careers. He looked fine against TOR until he got hurt

FWIW, Fluto is reporting that the Bruins feel that Essensa can "fix" Korpisalo.
They don't plan on buying him out or trading him.

Korpisalo is viewed as a pretty negative value contract. The 25th pick in a draft where picks 20 to mid 50s or so are seen as about equal value should be the compensation for taking Korpisalo’s bad contract. Probably not even a sufficient sweetener to take on that contract.
So then it is ullmark for the 4th line guy. That’s why people have a problem with this trade and why all media articles I have read have so effusively declared this a big win for the Sens.
Just finished round one. Part 2 at 10:30.Been there done that. I had esophageal cancer in 2006, caught very early. Still had radical surgery at the BIMC. I had CT scans with contrast for 3 years, twice a year until they gave me the ALL CLEAR. Hope you're not claustrophobic!

Not looking forward to being in that thing for 25minutes.

FIRE DON SWEENEY INTO THE SUN
Goalie Bob is a miracle worker, unless it's with Bussi I guess?
Fix him to what? It's not like he was a Vezina finalist five years ago. His best season is "decent."
Smarter than everyone else always and forever.
Yes the trade sucks, but it's the equivalent of pulling off a bandaid. Trading him at last deadline would have hurt the team going into the PO's. Ullmark was the better G after the break. (we still don't know if Sway can handle 50+ games and the PO's)
Trading in the upcoming deadline w/o an extension, would yield a that much of a difference, and upset the chemistry.
The time was now and we got what we got from the only team he would go to.

Yup. Wish him the best but not sure this Ottawa team for one season is the best way to walk into your last chance at a big/long contract as a goalie.
Bussi = NHL games experience "0". Faster league, better shooters. He already plays the style/system they want.
Their plan was to always get Sway an experienced backup that could play if he failed to be a heavy load #1.
Not a good deal, but there wasn't one to be had. They wanted the Ullmark issue resolved before the start of camp.
If Korpi is decent for 25-30 games(Halak made similar money with career of ups and downs), then he is worth the contract. If he's sucks we bury him in the AHL or buy him out next year.
When he was younger he beat TOR in the POs and played well against the TBL in one of their Cup years. My point is his ceiling is higher than being given credit for.
If we did nothing, then we would have bigger problems next offseason.
It sucks but all the bitching won't undo the trade.

So there wasn’t one team on his trade list that wanted him and July 1 he would have updated his list ,or did the Bruins really wanted it done before the draft .
