Don reminds me of a penny stock pumper or DT
Lol, that would have just been insane.Maybe we didn't need to retain after all.
I had us pegged at 1.8 million (or whatever] as the buyout over 8 years. Without question as well, I had basically resigned to the fact.
Yep and this trade ( stock ) is going sky high. I'm getting ready for the 1st round and Donny getting a nice prospect. Thanks sens.
I would agree there is a possibility it works out. I'm harsh on Korpisalo and think his career numbers clearly show he's not very good by NHL standards, but being a clear #2 playing ~25 games behind a good team should relieve a lot of the pressure. Maybe he can improve to being a consistent backup.
And dont forget the main ingredient the 1st round pick. That's the main ingredient in all this and can swing the trade to Boston favor big time.
That was the assumed cost to dump the Korpse, if not more. We live with it happily either way.
Yep that's what will swing the trade for sens big time. Don didn't get value then for sure.
The fact that it’s the Bruins original pick is a zero consequence to Bruins fans. The Bertuzzi trade was an actually a good one. The post season result have no baring on that all. They got beat by the team that went to the cup final and then won it the next year. How did your team do those two years?
The trade as it stands to day is already a major win for the Sens. It can’t swing much farther in their favor.
I’d say his performance has been overall pretty good, but the decision making on this trade is his worst since the 2015 draft blunder of all blunders.
I wanna see this trade in a year before I declare the landslide winner. If korpi gets red hot as a backup you all will look like fools here or bruins draft a stud with that pick. Unreal how people judge trades.
They're just being realistic based on Korpisalo's relatively long track record of not being good when objectively looking at his career numbers. I like the optimism, but nothing on his resume really indicates he's going to perform as you expect, and you have to at least admit that what you're saying could happen, flies in the face of his career to this point. The guy has a ton to prove if he doesn't wanna be out of the league soon. He's only had 1 quality season in his last 4.
Ok let's see if ullmark plays well. His playoff resume have been horrid if that's anything to gage too. Let's see how this plays out . I declare no winner right now.
Of course, we will have to wait and see. And yes, the same as Ullmark needs to prove himself capable in the playoffs, but that is a much smaller 10 game sample size, not a 9 year career.
