Yesterday, Boston and Ottawa finalized the first big deal of the offseason that saw Ullmark go to the Nations Capital. The return that Boston got for Ullmark was pretty disappointing to say the least, as they received G Joonas Korpisalo and Forward Mark Kastelic and 1st-round pick (25th overall) in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft.
The Deal left many fans scratching their heads as they believed that they would receive a pretty big player in return. But a 1st-round pick is nothing to turn your nose at.
The '2 Pad Stack Podcast' stated that the only way this trade works for the Bruins if they trade Korpisalo fairly soon after acquiring him.
With the recent signing of Prospect G Brandon Bussi, if the B's do trade away Korpisalo, all fingers point at him being the bonified backup to Jeremy Swayman.
