Bruins' Korpisalo Dilemma: Trade or Keep?

0:00On April 18th, the Boston Bruins face a big call on veteran goalie, Jonas Corpisalo, as they re-tool for the future. He's their backup to Jeremy Swaman, posting an 11-win 10-loss three-tie record this season with a 2.90 goals against average, and 0.893 save percentage over about 30 games. Solid enough for depth, but not elite, and his negative goals saved above average screams below league norms. Corpisalo came over in a trade from the Ottawa Senators, where he inked a five-year deal, averaging 4 million a year, complete with a modified. No trade clause that makes moving him tricky. That deal netted Boston prospects like Dean the Turno, the 25th pick in 2024, who's developing well in college, plus some, bottom six grit. Fans and insiders are split, with some praising his recent hot streak seven wins, one loss, four ties, and his last 12 starts. But others question if.

1:00He's consistent enough long-term. General manager Don Swini has tried shopping him before, but his cap hit and performance keeps scaring teams off, especially in a tight goalie, market. Now, with Michael D. Pietro pushing for a call-up from the miners and 8 million left on Corpisalo's contract, the Bruins way keeping a reliable, vet against flipping him for assets. Rumors swirl about spots like the New York Rangers after Jonathan Quick retired, but Swini might need to toss in a pick to make it work. Bottom line. As the off-season looms, Boston's got to microscope this guy's fit. Trade him smart or ride him as backup. To keep their cup window cracked, open, without clogging the pipeline.
