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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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
