"A or B" is a figure of speech...you are just trolling at this point
You're arguing about goalies there, with someone who played the position and may just know what they're talking about...No, I’m really not and I don’t appreciate that term troll.
He’s essentially saying Korpisalo’s will only do A or B and that “classic goalies” are limited in what they will or can do on the ice and I want him to answer what that it. He’s trying to minimize the “type” of goalie Korpisalo is, even though as OTHERS have mentioned, Korpisalo makes plenty of acrobatic saves himself.
He can prefer a “twitchy” goalie, but, don’t act as if Elvis or any others in that category have more ability or options to make saves just because you categorize them like that.
Elvis was better this yr . You just glossing over the fact Merzlikins had a rough start transitioning to the NHL , and when it was all said and done for the season started 31 games with a .923 save %, a 2.35 GAA, and had 5 shutouts in those 31 games last season ?I think the two most overrated players on the CBJ currently are the goalies. Both have had great stretches. Neither have had a full season where they have played really solid. Korpi was great against Toronto, so he has playoff experience. This year Elvis looked better.
I am willing to trade either one or both. I also think the returns from trading them will not be as great as some people think they will be. So I am cool with keeping both and letting them keep battling, and then resigning 1 and trading 1 during the season. Both are UFA in a year.

Heres Korpis GAA past 5 seasons ... 2.88, 3.32, 2.95, 2.60, and a massive 3.30 GAA
save %... .905, .897, .897, .911, and .894
Sure.. Korpi has shown he can play well in small spurts. His career #s, and performances show that he cant SUSTAIN that level play. Hes a great backup, that you can throw out there and have a shot if your starter goes down. Meanwhile Elvis is in top 10 of league in last 2 yrs .After the Toronto series, Korpi looked like the future. After this season, Elvis looks better. To me, neither one looks like the kind of guy you can count on to sign long term for $5 million plus. Based on what I have seen, I’d rather grab a halfway decent UFA goalie every few years for a fairly short contract than commit to either one long term.
I mean there was already a poll on this .. it was nearly 80% for ElvisYou guys need to settle Elvis vs Korpi on the mains poll board. Otherwise this goes forever.
Love the ignoring of Korpisalo’s 1st season
Jones to take his spot?
Makes a lot of sense. Murphy coming back in return?
Yeah. I mean someone just is to stubborn.I mean there was already a poll on this .. it was nearly 80% for Elvis
Any interest in Kubalik?Dach + Murphy + 1st for Jones + Korpi would be great
Murph is from Columbus you knowMakes a lot of sense. Murphy coming back in return?
I heard he wants to be here……Murph is from Columbus you know
I would take that tradeDach + Murphy + 1st for Jones + Korpi would be great
Let's get weird...
Seth and 25 (+?) For OEL and Garland..let ARI flip Seth for whatever
