Player Discussion Korpisalo (5 years/20M)

[AchtzehnBaby]

Who is he?

I know

 

[Gil Gunderson]

You guys are acting like he's a bum.
He can't possibly be worse than Murray, or Talbot. We need some stability in net, and this should provide it.

We won’t get stability regardless because this team has no idea how to play defence.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Anways....let's just hope he brings his .904 career save % here and we can build on it and be stable. No further need for me to complain. I think it's 2 years too much and 8 million too much, but...f*** it.

 

[NyQuil]

All of you Dorion haters are losing your mind Get a grip boys it's not that bad everything is relative

 

[Senscore]

Lyon would have brought all the uncertainty on a much cheaper deal.

 

[SpezDispenser]

We won’t get stability regardless because this team has no idea how to play defence.

Smith'll be fired soon enough though.

 

[OgieO]

You could live with the AAV if term was short. But this is a classic too much for too long goalie contract given out by PD.

Pierre can't do goalies. Wtf.

 

[Artanis]

We won’t get stability regardless because this team has no idea how to play defence.

That's an entirely different discussion then lol

 

[inthewings]

This is a terrible signing.

 

[Ice-Tray]

Ok goaltending spot filled…. Next. Goalies are crap shoots for the most part, hope this guy can stabilize the position with Forsberg.

Haven't seen him play much so I’ll take a wait and see approach. Just him being able to play in games would be a nice upgrade on the last two guys.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

No he doesn't, he is an NHL goalie, he just has to be better than the last two we had. We were three wins away from a playoff spot maybe some stable goaltending gets us into the playoffs.

Signing someone for 5 years with the task of “just be better than our last couple shit goalies” is insane.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Is Dorion purposely trying to get Andlaur to fire him.

 

[NyQuil]

No he doesn't, he is an NHL goalie, he just has to be better than the last two we had. We were three wins away from a playoff spot maybe some stable goaltending gets us into the playoffs.

It doesn't matter what goalie we have because DJ Smith is still the coach.

So throwing a whole bunch of money at our goaltending situation isn't going to solve anything.

We had our tandem of choice available at the beginning of last season and Talbot and Forsberg were between the pipes for our worst stretch of the season.

 

[BondraTime]

Fool me once shame on me

Fool me twice, shame on you

Fool me three time, what’s going on

Fool me 4 times, uhhhhhh

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

He's not a bum. But goalies are so inconsistent these days. And when you start having injuries the way those guys play...it can turn into a disaster in a hurry.

Five years is a massive risk for a goalie.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Almost one year after trading Gustavsson too hahah

 

[Ouroboros]

I can't find the tweet because Twitter is f***ed, but this guy is something like -60 goals saved above expectation over his career. Way below average.

 

[Senscore]

This feels like Dorion pooping in the filing cabinet before being fired.

 

[OttawaSenators11]

This management group are f***ing buffoons Joonas sucks monkey balls had one good run and boom shit for brains Dorion decides not only is the player number one on my wish list but also proceeds to give a backup goalie 5 f***ing years!

 

[NyQuil]

This signing will not only allows Soogard to develop in the AHL for another 2 years, it will allow Forsberg to ease his way back into the NHL after double knee surgery.

And then you only have him for 3 more years.

 

[Artanis]

He's not a bum. But goalies are so inconsistent these days. And when you start having injuries the way those guys play...it can turn into a disaster in a hurry.

Five years is a massive risk for a goalie.

So if we didn't sign Korpisalo, who are we going to overpay for? Jarry?

 

[Agent Zub]

We just saw Vegas win with a goalie they got for like a 4th, so many teams had their starters chased out of the net. Clearly you need to worry about the strength of the outfield roster before goalies.

4 mill is a competitive RD or a couple of legit bottom 6ers. Jeez.

 

[Icelevel]

 

[DJB]

Absolutely horrendous

 

[OUTHOUSE]

23/24 Conn Smythe winner, Joonas Korpisalo.
