The Ottawa Senators have signed netminder Joonas Korpisalo to a five-year contract worth an average annual value of $4 million.

The Senators have found their goalie. 

The Ottawa Senators fortified their crease on Saturday, agreeing to terms with netminder Joonas Korpisalo on a four-year contract worth an average annual value of $4 million. 

The deal finally gives the Senators the No. 1 option in net that they've been searching for quite some time and adds a capable puck-stopper behind a blueline that now features Jakob Chychrun. 

This signing certainly doesn't come without risk, though. 

After a few troubling seasons with Columbus over the past half-decade or so, Korpisalo regained his form in a big way upon arriving in Los Angeles at the trade deadline, anchoring the Kings’ net with a 7-3-1 record and a .921 save percentage in 11 games to close out the year. His post-season performance left something to be desired, resulting in the Kings bowing out in the first round, but Korpisalo seems to have done enough to rehab his image as a legit NHL starter.

The Senators will certainly need him to be one after handing him this payday. 

Stay tuned. More signings are rolling in.
