If he becomes a berglend that's still a homerun of a trade with what 25 year old kastelic doing right now and korpi winning his last game with a almost 900 save percentage. This trade is early swinging Boston way but it's very very early. I just didnt get why most sens fans were doing return of the jedi celebrations when the trade happened? I actually thought Boston did ok in the deal but I kept getting pounded that we got hosed??
Don...CHILL. If the Bruins break even on this trade, it is a win for them. Korpi is likely going to play 1 out of 5 games this year. For his cap hit, that is terrible value even if he maintains a .900 save %. So, Kastelick NEEDS to score 30pts to make up for the terrible value Korpi brings. Letourneau is at least 4 years away and there is no guarantee he will be an NHL player, never mind a top 6 player. I wonder if he will eclipse 10 pts in the NCAA this year. He is so raw.
Just pointing out this ain't no landslide win for the sens so far. Kastelic already has like 3 goals and 6 points in like 9 games. Last year he has 10 points in total. Hes well on his of over 30 points. Getting that 1st round pick is also sweet and that kid has some solid numbers early in his career. Korpi played pretty good last game with win in Colorado not a easy task.
we get it you are defending your teams trade, and honestly no one expected this from kastelic which is a huge get and thats something you can pretend and keep repeating that your gm knew it was going to happen
.
Excited for korpi next game hope he builds from last game. Kastelic red hot right now . Lets see.
This was a terrible trade then and remains one now. This coming from a Bruins fan. Korpisallo and that contract coming back was already a win for the Sens. We got a 4th liner, an ok over priced back up with term that we did not need in any way and a very late first for a very good goalie. This was not good.
Linus hasn't turned the world on fire yet and kastelic has that just alone has the Bruins winning the trade and dont forget Sens are paying part of korpi salary here to being here. Dean Leternaeu pick is a guess but will find out .
Chill out Don, the best player in the trade is usually who decides the winner of the deal. Swayman could be worn out by January, particularly is Korpisalo maintains his mediocrity. Maybe Letourneau pans out but that's a HUGE maybe. He could also be Joe Colborne or worse. Ottawa won this deal if Ullmark plays to his capabilities in the short term. Perhaps the B's eventually pull closer to even in five years if the kid pans out. But, again, HUGE maybe at best. Stop spewing the carnival barker nonsense until that time.
Well kastelic is playing better then linus at the moment that's not carnival stuff.
It was still only technically a first, as the second rounder was the compensation pick from Chouinard not signing,
I wouldn't mind korpi taking the 1st role and running with it . This trade is lopsided for the bruins at the moment. Many of you sens fans were playing prince song party like its 1999 here. Don sweeney did very well with this deal. Extremely well.
Korpi will take it hes been thrown under the bus in Ottawa and now has found himself in Boston. Very happy for him and seems sens fans were wrong about him.
If he takes us to the promise land I don't care. Just win baby.! Let's go korpi! What a fantastic story this is becoming. This trade was a actual need for Boston more then it was a dump . Kastelic and korpi have become foundational pieces who knew? Hopefully that dean leternaeu kid becomes something too. Wowsers!
