I'm not happy with the trade because of Korpisalo's albatross contract. It's a big risk hoping that he rebounds. If he doesn't, you're stuck with a horrible contract or have to buy it out. The net cap space savings after this trade this year isn't much ($5M Ullmark gone but absorbing $3M Korpisalo and $835K Kastelic). But I applaud your bravery to have an optimistic take on this trade when most Bruins fans hate it.
To be honest same could’ve been said about Ullmark coming in from Buffalo who was given a $5M deal back then. Obviously not the ideal contract but give him time to grow in Boston and who knows what you’ll have in a couple years, maybe even a vezina type goalie :). Kastelic likely will head down to the AHL giving the Bruins back the 835k or it’s a league min contract so you don’t have to go out and sign someone else!
Ullmark hasn’t signed an extension as of July, good enough return
For sure! This was the biggest risk with this trade for the Sens and it seems like it could come back to bite them. Will be interesting to see how the Sens approach it as every day brings closer Ullmark heading to free agency!
Sweeney and Neely should be fired, but they are safe, because Jacobs does not want to go through the process of looking for new management. Incompetent ownership and incompetent management. The 25th OA pick should have been just for taking a bad contract in Korpisalo, then for Ullmark you need another first + decent player or prospect.
There were a couple problems in this deal that caused Ullmarks value to drop. First was the lack of buyers due to the goalie market subsiding in one day. The other is that Ullmark wasn't willing to talk about long-term signing. Korpisalo had a bad year in Ottawa but that doesn't mean anything when you look at the last several. Us Bruins fans have to chill out till after Free Agency is over. If Sweeney comes up empty we will talk, super extensively...
Perhaps, a team that has been strapped for cap space for so long should be a bit more frugal? Is this another Mike Reilly contract? It's $3M X4 years. Gotta wonder if the rest is their "secondary scoring".
The Korpisalo deal give it a year or 2 won’t look all that bad. We’ve seen what goalies and Boston can do and become and this is yet another example of that. Pick your poison, Ullmark was the exact same reaction and now we’re here…
As a bruins fan, I'm sad Ullmark is stuck in Ottawa. Other than that, this trade was a steal for Boston.
I want whatever you guys are smoking. Ottawa paid us our own first round pick from last years deadline…in exchange for taking on one of the worst contracts in the league and giving them the best goalie on the market
how so?
Bruins goalie tandem was a lag on our potential for talent up front. We can't pay for a #1/2 center with fully activated swayman AND ullmark. It's a situation where one HAS to go. Getting something for a goalie whose stats are inflated by a stifling Bruins defense is a good move. This package is a Don Sweeny cooker that gives us a few more pieces to trade with and 2 million in cap space.
@@DeepFriedLotus....lmfao
@@DeepFriedLotus I completely agree with this! Great insight!
What cap space Ullmark made 5 million they took back 3.85 million
They are really grasping for straws here. Apparently we’re all supposed to be fat and happy because we got our own pick back from the Bertuzzi deal last year after getting rid of our best trade asset and taking on one of the worst contracts in the NHL
The truth is that Kastelic likely won't see the NHL to start the year and if he does he's on league minimum which just bumps another current Bruin on a similar contract down to the AHL clearing the cap. That's where the $2M comes from. Hope this helps and sorry I didn't explain it better in the video.
@@hockeytalk6084 We're happy because we got a first-round pick back for a player who wasn't going to play much this year. The Korpi deal isn't terrible considering the Sens retained $1M and considering the lack of buyers in the market they got themselves the best deal with what they had. Now all eyes on Sweeney for Free Agency!
A solid backup? He was 99th in the league in stats! The worst goalie in the league for 3 million a year for 4 more years!!
The 25th pick overall might as well be a second rounder..
And a 4th line center that has 24 point in 130 games in two years..
5millon minus 3.835 equals 1.165… so they saved just a little over a million in cap space lol..
With all due respect to Ottawa have you seen their D Corps? One of the worst in the league. Ullmark isn’t the goaltender he used to be during his vezina run and this year proved it. He’s on a contract year and won’t guarantee to sign in Ottawa. Just saying, the Bruins squeezed exactly what they could out of this deal. Whether Kastelic cracks the lineup or not he’s a league minimum deal meaning the Bruins would’ve had to pay it anyways. He’ll likely start in the AHL with potential to grow.
@@blackngoldproductionsllc ullmark started out slow but picked it up after the Allstate break when swayman was playing like crap. Then swayman came on in the playoffs.
When you are 99th over all and your goalies are rank 32nd overall, you can’t blame the defense. Hell ullmark when he was on Buffalo still had good stats, he’ll i remember Ryan miller have great stats but a crappy record, that isn’t the deal with here. This was a bad signing by Ottawa and they dump his crappy contract to Boston.
Kastelic, just what we need an other bottom 6 forward that can’t score.
They freed up a little over a million in cap space where they could have had bussi back up and it would have saved 3 million.
But we shall see, Sweeney has sucked at the draft every year, even when he had 3 first round picks
@@soup31314 We’ll have to agree to disagree my friend… At the end of this year we’ll see whether Ullmark posts similar numbers and then we can talk about winners but in my eyes it doesn’t matter the goalie for Ottawa, they need to shore up their defence. As for Sweeney and the pick, I’m not convinced it won’t be traded. Boston is in a perfect position right now to draft but also to trade. Super excited to see which way they go!
@@blackngoldproductionsllc with all due respect to actually what happened on the ice
Ottawa was 15th in 5x5 shots allowed & 22nd in total 5x5 scoring chances
Boston? 18th in 5x5 shots allowed, so worse than Ottawa and only 18th at total 5x5 scoring chances just a few spots better than Ottawa
It's amazing to me you RUclips Bruins content creators say dumb crap like Ottawas defense stunk & thats why Korpisola was the NHLs worst goalie last year when Bostons defense at 5x5 was basically the exact same
Stats & Facts always win vs homer opinions
Your opinion isKorpisola stink because Ottawas defense did
Reality, so stats, facts & what actually happened on the ice,..
Ottawas defense was about as good as Boston's at 5x5 and stats not opinions PROVE that
Stats >Opinions
The difference arises in the structure in which Boston plays the game vs Ottawa. You can say that the shots/scoring chances were the same but Boston clogs out the middle of the ice to a point where the majority of shots are taken from the outer part of the ice (still they go in :( ) while Ottawa is a little more free in their game. Doesn’t mean one tactical system is better than the other but when teams that don’t commit to the structure struggle defensively it shows a lot more than teams with structure. I’m not great with advanced stats but I watch hockey and that’s what I can tell you.
Bruins fans and hockey enthusiasts around the league BALKED at early reports that the senators tried to force Boston to take Korpisalo in an Ullmark trade at the deadline last year. Boston refuse to take Korpisalo then…. Now the same people are scrambling to defend this incompetence. Interesting….real interesting
Part of it is the retained salary. Boston didn't need a goalie and I'll be the first one in line to say that I would've rathered a position player but unfortunately, with all the teams needing goaltenders gone, this was the best package they could have gotten. I think Korpisalo will be good with the Bruins but I can understand why others don't. You get him a little bit cheaper which allows the Bruins to go out to free agency and make a serious offer. Will be interesting to monitor as we head into the offseason!
Agree, they didn’t trade vezina ulmark from a year ago, they traded this years version…a guy they didn’t have confidence to play in the playoffs and on an expiring deal…Korpi will be solid for the Bs, mark my words.
This is the thing that a lot of people forget! Ullmark played behind Swayman all year and there’s reason for it. With only one “real suitor” on the market the demand simply wasn’t high enough to jack up the price giving Ottawa the dagger. The Bruins are better because of this deal and Korpi will be great for them!
Copium is strong with this one
This one made me laugh :)
Calling Korpisalo a starter is a very far stretch, he has been a solid back up most of his career. And if Kastilic is on the Bruins, you only have $1.1 million on the cap, making it quite literally a lateral move money wise.
What I mean is that he’s starter quality. Think back to the playoff run in 2019-2020, Korpisalo was the key to the Blue Jackets getting past the Leafs. Kastelic likely won’t crack the lineup and even if he does the Bruins would still gain roughly $2M. The graphic is up to date however doesn’t show the third goalie bringing down the cap as Bussi is right now. Once (if) he is sent down the Bruins will pick up additional cap space.
This was literally Ottawa dumping cap and getting a good goalie for the worst goalie on a terrible contract!
He was the 2nd worst goalie in the entire NHL in terms of goals saved above expected on a terrible contract, it costs about a 1st just to get rid of that contract.
@@soup31314 This is much more of a tactical retreat for the Senators. Trading away their current starter to appease Ullmark into signing a deal long term. It’s a bold strategy and we’ll see if it pays off!
@@jacobouellette4430Real difficult to save shots more than expected when you’re being pelted all night long
Can't imagine that there are many teams willing to give up a lot for a 30 year old goalie on the last year of his contract.
I think people forget this… His play has dropped drastically since last year and it’s shown. Will be interesting to see him in the standalone starter role in Ottawa. The extra ice time could become a problem for the aging goaltender…
Goaltenders are a strange breed. It's true that Korpisalo had a brutal year on a mostly brutal defensive team. If he can return to his Columbus form, then he will be a good back-up for Boston, who is very solid defensively. I've heard Kastelic doesn't use his size as much as he could, but time will tell and he's cheap.
For sure! A lot of people have written Korpisalo off due to one bad season but fail to remember his plentiful success from years past! Kastelic I hope to see up with the big club but will be interesting to monitor his progress. Could be a perfect bottom 6 piece for the Bruins for years to come! Thanks for engaging!
The goalie they got is going to have way better d man in front of him then Ottawa had. Bruins are very defensive sound compared to Ottawa.
Yep for sure! It's one of the biggest things that people forget about Korpisalo as when we look at previous years numbers compared to current year it's night and day.
Great deal? Cmon son.
And once and for all it isn't saving us much money
Saved the Bruins one million, That's it.
Some is better than none… Not to mention you pick up a first round pick out of a guy that wouldn’t play very much this upcoming season. Good deal in my books.
@@kennethsonia5350 Saves them 2 million as a baseline for what is to happen next with Korpisalo/Bussi
@@blackngoldproductionsllc 1 million not two..
And a 25th pick is barely a "first rounder"..
Should've got their 7th pickt..teerible deal and get your numbers right..and wouldn't play very much? More than korpi would've..and if sway gets hurt you telling me your comfortable with korpi taking over.?
Hahahahaha
@@Bruins-vq5ey The truth is that Kastelic likely won't see the NHL to start the year and if he does he's on league minimum which just bumps another current Bruin on a similar contract down to the AHL clearing the cap. That's where the $2M comes from. The reason why the Bruins didn't get a better pick is because of the lack of buyers in the market with all the major suitors off the market. To answer your question no, I don't believe Ullmark would have played all that much with Korpi playing a similar backup role here. Swayman stood head above down the stretch for the Bruins and I expected that to continue into next year All eyes on Sweeney now for Free Agency!
Come on taking on 3 million a year cap hit for the next 3 to 4 years for a not very good goalie is not smart. The way to build is thru the draft, this move kind of delays any thought of getting any youth in the minors is shot especially if Sweeney trades the pick for a aging player
Is the contract ideal? No. But are the Bruins still getting a quality backup in net, absolutely! A lot of people forget in today’s NHL that you need 2 goalies to be successful. Let Korpisalo grow for a year then either trade his value or drop him to waivers.
Sweeney isn't finished dealing.
Definitely not. Very interested over here to see what he does with the pick!
Good luck getting rid of Korpisalo without giving up more draft picks and eating more of his albatross contract
Sweeney just proved he doesnt know what hes doing. Sorry fellow bruin fans but we are in trouble
@@hockeytalk6084 Don't need to. At least not yet. Give him a couple years to refind his game in Boston. This happens every year with Bruins fans. We sign/acquire someone and go bezerk. We didn't like the Ullmark signing at the time either and look where that got us.
@@buckwing6743 We will see and I hope to see you at our Monday free agent frenzy recap!
As a fan of Ottawa I’m just glad to have Korpisalo gone and this would not have been done if our new goalie would not sign an extension
Next step for you guys is to fix your defence haha. That’ll be the biggest difference for Ullmark and I’m very curious to see how he performs.
This stuff tells me all I need to know. Ottawa fans laughing and THANKING Don Sweeney on our behalf. But people like these guys are still defending the trade. Boggles my mind
@@blackngoldproductionsllc yea a defensive upgrade is truly needed maybe at the draft it will happen or free agency
@@leovaillancourt5683 Will certainly be interesting as I see the Panthers going after a guy like Brandon Montour which could be an interesting sell with him coming off the cup run.
Sweeney went To Harvard to get stupid
These days going to Harvard doesn’t mean anything lol, Sweeney’s is not exactly helping their case either
I've never been the most outright Sweeney fan but he does have a proven record of putting together world-class teams. Somehow these strange deals seem to always work out and I have no doubt this one will too.
@@hockeytalk6084 No wonder Sweeney likes the colour red *wink wink*
I'm hoping Sweenys playing chess move the goalie and draft pick for someone good and keep the big guy
I have no doubt he is! The extra cap space will be super beneficial!
@@blackngoldproductionsllc only a million.. not that big of a help
This would be the only way for it to be a successful move..don't count on it..
How many teams are gonna want korpi? An overpaid backup.
@@blackngoldproductionsllc
They saved a lousy $1M for next year and are stuck paying Korpisalo $3M for the next four years. Do you know this? It seems like you don't
What's the million going to get Sweeney? Another 4th line, PTO guy.
Awesome and super beneficial as the Bruins only have fifty or so bottom 6 forward and maybe four top 6 players while also lacking a real 1c or 2c
$1M in cap savings will be super beneficial while they take on the NHL's worst goalie statistically for another 4 years at a $3MAAV🤣🤣🤣
Ullmark is not coming back to Boston. Why would you even suggest that?? At the trade Deadline, Ottawa had Korpisalo part of a trade. Sweeney said he didn't want any part of Korpisalo, Yet they got him anyways. Sweeney logic. The Bruins need goal scorers, Fact.
Sens fan here, Korpi is actually a really good goalie, the problem was the Sens D's are horrific! He will shine as a back up with the Bruins.
100%! A lot of people only look at the scorebook but what’s important to remember is that the numbers can be skewed depending on the team. Great insight!
He let in a goal on the 1st or 2nd shot in like 15 games this year. At some point its on the goalie not the defense. Admittedly though, it would be hard for Koripsalo to do that again this year.
The underlying numbers actually directly contradict this lol. Korpisalo ranked 97th in the entire NHL out of any goalie that played more than a handful of games this year… and he played almost 60 games so it wasn’t exactly a small sample size either. He is…..not good
@@hockeytalk6084...oh ya...tell us his numbers in LA with a good d infront of him. I don't expect to hear back from you😂. Stop acting like you know s%^& casual.
I really hope so! Slava 🐻🏒
sweeney isnt a fool. Yeah the parental failings of youtube love to troll in the comments, who cares. Let's see how this plays out. I have heard alot of good things about bussi.
Should be interesting to watch! I think there’s still at least one more move for the Bruins before the draft here, eyes are peeled :)
"Masterclass?" LOLOLOLOLOL
You betcha! Hope you’ll join us in a couple hours!
"If you can find an if it'll eventually turn into a when" That sounds so profound and yet...It's kind of never true.
Rask, Thomas, Ullmark all beg to differ…
@@blackngoldproductionsllc Rask was never an if. Ullmark really wasn’t when he came here.And Thomas was a huh really? Ifs, how about Riabchikov, Lacher, Blue just to name a few.
Rask was considering he was more or less a prospect coming up in exchange for the Calder Trophy winning Raycroft. Ullmark was almost hunted out in his first year with Boston due to the high contract he was given yet that’s worked out. All I’m saying is don’t jump to a call right away just because it may not be what you’d do because it might just work out. I’m in a very philosophical mood :)
kasty is beautifull though.
Looks like an absolute beaut! Can't wait to see him in the black n gold!
It good trade could get more or better I don't think so get there goalie worst of trade
Exactly! The Bruins squeezed what they could from this deal! Especially given the circumstances.
Hey guys
W/e Celtics won
More of a Raptors fan myself but do you ;)
@blackngoldproductionsllc I'm in ottawa, so I'm just hating
@blackngoldproductionsllc that said I cheer for raps n jays but Boston always winning in every sport so they should just let ottawa have this. Lol
@cantControlLife Bwahahaha too funny! At least you’re a good sport about it :)
@@blackngoldproductionsllc funny how? Like I'm a clown? I amuse you? Funny how?
I made it
Awesome! Great to have you!
He is not solid. He is a bum. No cap space
That’s where we disagree. If Korpisalo can return to his peak form Boston just stole this entire trade!
He sucks. Other than that one game where he put up 70 saves he is a totally below average goalie by every possible metric. He was so bad on Ottawa last year that underlying numbers suggest he single-handedly tanked the teams defensive metrics and not the sens “inferior” blue line….which is the convenient narrative everybody’s running with out of pure cope. He has put up bad numbers his entire career. And now we are stuck with the contract unless we want to pay more draft picks and it even more of a salary just to get rid of him. We gained almost no Space and effectively barred Brandon Bussi from any kind of NHL role next season due to his contract and waivers status. But oh boy oh boy we got our OWN pick back so everybody supposed to be fat and happy. What a JOKE
@@hockeytalk6084 LA and CBJ were not bad numbers. Much less for a guy coming to play the backup role. Boston gets themselves a first-round pick for the first time since 21' which is excellent, especially as a team on the cusp between contending and rebuilding. I'm out of stuff to say to you without doubling up haha but I really do appreciate all the discussion that you've driven here so thank you!
