They also lost the most promising offensive player on their team outside Stutzle. Korpi isn't good either. IMO they didn't rise or fall.

Leaving out Tkachuk?

Well I guess we wouldn't have had to spend 6.75mill on a pair of 5-6 Dman cause we would have had a Top pair D instead in Chychrun.

Swayman ask 4.5
Team ask 2
Avg 3.25

projected 1 year 3.453

award 3.475

Bruins are 300k over cap, they can't walk away. 13/8/2, demoting Greer or Mitchell is the easy out.

korpisalo is worse than forsberg


- Michael Ghofrani
Looking back, I can’t help but wonder how much Korpisalo was overcompensating for his injured hip. Because from what I’ve seen so far this year, he looks like the best version of himself. The one that used to be the heir apparent to Sergei Bobrovsky in Columbus.

In 29 games this season, Korpisalo has a .913 save percentage. He ranks 17th in goals saved above expected. And most importantly, the eye test is really strong.

Korpisalo is staying closer to home. About the only time he ventures out of the blue paint is on rush chances against, which makes sense considering his outstanding skating ability. He prefers to have some backwards flow when play is coming towards him.

But what I find really noticeable is Korpisalo’s level of control. It’s the best I’ve seen from him. And it’s not just because his hip is healthy. It’s pretty clear to me that Korpisalo decided to make technical changes during his recovery, and now it’s paying off.

Thats not a fancy stat, thats an observation that hes made a shift in style.

His fancy stats have like six years of bad play to 11 games of "wow its nice to play behind a real defense for a change"

Quoting you

"Adam's is bald"

So what?

Chychrun has been injured often, he's injury prone.

Similar to Samuelson.

Why, he already did. You should worry more about your Boy Adams.

Yeah almost as good as comrie was in a similarly small sample.

Korpisalo was bottom 5 in GAR in both 22, and 21. The article is suggesting that the shift is due to a change in style. So its not an analytics driven bet, its an observation that perhaps this change will bring out better results.

But the numbers as a whole show far more bad goaltending than good.
