Shortly after the trade was made, there were rumblings across the league that the Bruins may buy out Korpisalo as the compliance buyouts are set to begin after 48 hours when the Stanley Cup is awarded. But according to Fluto Shinzawa of the Athletic, it appears the Bruins may hang on to him for next season.
Now with the Bruins and a much sounder defence core along with the attention to detail defensively, it's likely Korpisalo's numbers will return to what many we're used to especially when he was with the LA kings. He will also play less games as Jeremy Swayman and is slated to be the new number one goaltender and will take the bulk of the starts.
Korpisalo has four years remaining on his deal and holds a cap hit of $3,000,000 per season. The Bruins will continue to seek out help along their blue line and will give players like Korpisalo more insulation which will help his numbers.
