Change for the sake of change. Sometimes that's just what you have to do.What UFA goalie is enough of an upgrade on Korpisalo to justify the cost of getting rid of Korpisalo?
Of this years crop of UFA goalies
The guy with the most wins- Talbot at 22 but Sens have been there done that.
Stolarz 14-5-1 1.97 Gaa and .927 sav % and Brossoit 12-5-2 2.05 GAA and .927% have the best numbers but that is as a back up facing lesser competition on a great team. Both are on the wrong side of 30 and neither will come close to those numbers in Ottawa even if they bring the panthers and jets starting 6 d-men with them.
The only starter available is Samsonov and in my mind he is not an upgrade on Korpisalo, this team will break him before the leaves fall.
Unless you are willing to trade 4 a goalie - Korpi is next years starter
When these guys come in to camp and see Korpisalo waiting for them again, they'll already know they have no chance.
Korpisalo has a track record of not being good for 6 of his 9 seasons. The idea that he'll be any good next year seems like it flies in the face of his career norm.
