Boston Bruins are not planning to buy out or trade Joonas Korpisalo, despite his past performance. The team believes he can improve and contribute positively as a backup goalie, representing a small percentage of their salary cap.
'Korpi will play for BOS': The Bruins do not intend to buy out Joonas Korpisalo. They plan to make him better. https://t.co/q0kaJYG7qy
Joonas Korpisalo represents 3.4 percent of the B's $88M salary cap next year. Pretending like he's some kind of huge albatross is being overly dramatic in a big, big way. He's a slightly overpaid backup goalie that's been good enough to play almost 300 NHL games. That's about it
Not sure I understand why people are so hung up on the Korpisalo part of B's trade. Yes, he had a very bad year for a terrible defensive team in Ottawa. But he's got almost 300 career NHL games and has shown he's a better goalie than that. He might play like 25-30 games next yr
Korpisalo will thrive behind that D in Boston. https://t.co/qwZ7aViXPi
Holy moly. Gotta imagine Boston has other plans for Korpisalo. A buyout or trade. https://t.co/Z7Codr99HX
