We're 15th in the league in goals per game, 12th in all situations HDCF/60, but last in the league in low danger sv%, but don't let facts get in the way of your narrative.
That’s nonsense.
Korpisalo was pretty good in Clb that year too, though the season is an outlier
That would concern me. Imo his resume backs up that this is who he is, not the outlier season last year. 2020-21 and 2021-22 look pretty darn similar statistically to this one, so now you're like 3 of the last 4 seasons have been weak.
The FA market for goalies last summer was incredibly thin. Most of the guys that were thought to be available re-signed with their current teams right on July 1. You had Martin Jones, Korpisalo, and not much else. The other alternative was riding a duo of Sogaard and Forsberg. Would that have been better? I am a long way from being sold on Sogaard - I lean much more heavily to Meralainen.
It was very thin, but I still look at his resume and don't get it. At least Jack Campbell justified his with good career numbers to that point that Korpse doesn't have. You have to walk away if your choice was him at 5 years imo. He has a track record of being a quality tender 3 out of 9 seasons, with 2 bad ones in a row prior to last year, and was never really relied on at any point as anything but a #2 or maybe a 1B. He's had below .900 save % 5 of the last 7 seasons now. What do people think is about to change? He had an 11 points lower save percentage than this season the year before last. There are deeper dives in to statistics that have been posted that hammer some of that home.
A buyout in 2025 isn't nearly as beneficial as a buyout in 2024.
Instead of paying to 2032 it changes to 2031. With dollar value per year averaging the same.
Career high wins and career low save percentage would be an accomplishment, but it doesn't look like he'll accomplish the latter.
I think he played well that weird COVID playoff year where the Jackets beat the Leafs. That left a favourable impression for some to some degree. Admittedly, any player that makes a decent contribution to beating the Leafs will make more of an impression though especially if its in the playoffs and the Leafs are denied advancing to later rounds yet again.
That was the playin round. I stand by the assertion that the leafs and Rangers both missed the playoffs.
Brossoit is brought up a fair bit. As is Demelo. Why wouldn't they both stay in a winning program in Winnipeg? Cap?
I mean you’re talking about one of the worst GMs in pro sports so
Goalies can still let in bad goals while killing a penalty or while on the power play.
