Who needs to reach the floor and wants to tank?

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

Anyone got a scouting report on Kastelic?
Maroon/tough guy replacement for Boston?

Hopefully Essensa can help Korpi out. He did wonders for Ullmark when he came to Boston. Sucks he’s got a lot of term left tho. At $3mills not the worst, maybe they can salvage him & trade for something later.

Pasta was picked with the 25th pick

That’s about all I got. Was hoping for more coming back.

As good as this deal seems for Ottawa, I think it’s a risky deal. Theres a good chance that Ullmark walks or signs an ugly extension.

Korpisalo will probably bounce back with Boston too.

Bussi's on a 1 year 2 way

Two way doesn’t mean he can pass through waivers. It’s all about what kind of money he gets at the NHL/AHL level.

EA Sports video games made people dumb about this.

Why should we expect this?

I expect Boston to trade Korpisalo again...

I hope so. He does nothing for us and blocks Bussi and co. from making a push this year

 

[Double Dion]

Ottawa did very well here. Dumping Korpisalo alone should have cost a 1st round pick.

Kastelic is a decent physical 4th line energy guy who can fight.

I never really had any issues with his contribution. He’s a Boston kind of player.

What's Ulmark get on a new deal?

$6.5 x 5-6 years

Wish I had a dollar for everytime I've heard this in the last decade. I'd be at the Porsche dealership tomorrow

 

[Go Wings]

I want to know how Markstrom with a NMC gets more than Ullmark in-division.

Ullmark has 1 year left of his deal and had a modified no move clause, that's how.

Any more questions?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Can’t sign until July 1st, no?

Yes, can't sign an extension until then

 

[Agalloch]

Why should we expect this?

Because Korpisalo doesn't fit on that Bruins team.

If Bussi has to go through waivers, he’s gonna get claimed so that’s another element of this deal.

It appears the Bruins actually like Korpisalo to platoon with Swayman. I see a lot of “well the B’s can just flip Korpisalo.” I don’t think that’s gonna happen. I think Sweeney wanted another experienced goalie with “starting pedigree” to pair with Swayman.

Signed an extension today

I suddenly do not want Brière trading with Staios. Abort mission, Danny.

In Briere I trust !

Good luck. That will be costly.

 

[Weltschmerz]

Word is Leafs had a comparable offer for Ullmark

Problem was they had no Korpisalo.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Swayman will get 6 for sure at least.

There are only 8 goalies making $6 million or more right now and I believe only Vasilevskiy and Gibson signed that deal as a RFA.

I can see him matching the Binnington deal (7 years at $6 million AAV) but I don't realistically see him going much above that, if at all.

 

[FlameChampion]

What's Ulmark get on a new deal?

$6.5 x 5-6 years

We will see what he gets. Will decide how the deal looks in the future.

 

[SensFactor]

Boston has a great system, if Korpi stays he will likely be a decent backup in Boston. However, likelihood is that he will be flipped.

 

[crackdown44]

I think this is absolutely terrible for Boston but I also would not be the least bit surprised to see Korpisalo just be good there if he stays

Like even though he sucks he will be good in Boston
