It’s refreshing to see a goalie as composed and positionally sounds as Ullmark in a Senators jersey. Steal of a trade.
Its just such an important position. I've never understood why the market for goalies is so trash. I suspect it's a lack of consistency and the fact that a bad goalie is effectively unplayable and basically a useless anchor against the cap.

Just too much risk when they don't pan out i guess.

I would be shocked - absolutely shocked - if Kastelic put up 20. He was always one of those guys who you wondered why he wasn't a better player than he was when you look at this physical tools.

Might have taken a coaching swap / change of scenery to get there.

I always liked kastelic. He had a bad year last year but there was so much off ice stuff going on with rhe team that it probably impacted him

He has a great combination of tenacity, grit and a hint of scoring. He could very well turn into a hell of a third line guy. Hope he does.

I would have given up far more for a signed ulmark.

Think what you want, but Ullmark will have more impact on wins and losses than pinto will. Thats not a shot at pinto either.
I don't know about that in the long run TBH, and furthermore, you NEVER give up a player like Pinto to accomplish that sort of means. Talk about neutering your gains almost entirely.

If korpi finds his game with a hot kastelic and that 1st round pick in 6 foot 7 in dean leternaeu becoming a solid prospect this trade ain't that bad as as most sens fans saying. I dont think it's a fleecing. Bruins got some decent pieces here.

It's really all about the 1st. Kastelic will be fine, but he goes ice cold for stretches and his physical game suffers. He probably wasn't worth too much.

It's fine in a vacuum and Boston will be fine, obviously.

Korpi has proven that he can catch fire at times. My guess is that what he ends up becoming . .. a streaky, medicore goalie with the occasional awesome stretch.

But who knows! Goalies are weird.
