I bet Korpisalo has a better save percentage than Ullmark this year. Bruins will be fine their systems are great they will find a way to be a 100 point team again.

I totally agree with this. Bunch of reddit-type goofs are talking about how awful the trade is, but they probably watched Korpisalo play twice this year and looked up his save % on db before deciding he sucks. The Bruins staff have better evaluation metrics than us lol. The true advanced stats on goalies that actually tell the real story (not save %) are closely guarded secrets of teams' analytics departments. I also trust goalie Bob to get the most out of Korpisalo, as he does out of literally every goalie that plays for the Bs.

If you dont sign OEL, and give lindholm a likely salary of 7.5 million you can turn dakota joshua into stamkos or even tarasenko. Dont bother with boqvist either, kastelic will fill that spot. No need for maroon either, just an older, slower kastelic. Also do not under any circumstances fully load PP1, PP2 will get 0 points if you do that. Signing joshua to play top 6 minutes and not play on the powerplay is also just brutal, if that money goes else where you can add the goals. Dakota Joshua is not as good as you think.

I think the Bruins from what I've read are weary of giving too much responsibility to Lohrei and Wotherspoon right away next year. They will probably add a veteran LHD, whether it's OEL or someone else.

Thats very fair, I think OEL is just too expensive to play bottom pair minutes. But yea if you can come up with a dakota joshua replacement please do, hes really not as good as the money suggests.

Watch them resign Forbort and Heinen instead of OEL and Joshua. My hope is they resign DeBrusk before free agency starts.



People are critical of the deal because they should be. Korpisalo was likely going to take a first to dump. He’s overpaid by a wide margin. Sweeney is a very good GM, but justifying taking that salary is just mind numbing.

This is coming from someone who believes they can recover Korpisalo to trade him for a late round pick eventually, It just was an unnecessary risk and frankly, I would have rather waited until after the draft and told Staois to keep him. What the hell else was he going to do. Make an offer for John Gibson?

Good luck to Ullmark. Will miss him.

Ha this is not funny I'd be very annoyed if this happened. It probably will. It's annoying that sweeny doesn't really spend, it's not like hes running a small market team here.

Sweeney has been a top 5 GM in the league and I like his overall track record. He understands how teams fit together.

That's true, he better make a splash in free agency though or this summer is gonna be a bust, it started off somewhat poorly.

On a better note how does drafting cole beaudoin or jett luchanko sound

I’d be surprised if the best available player is a center, but you never know,

Luchanko is projected around 25th and beaudoin is projected at 25th so its possible
