The Boston Bruins have made multiple moves this off-season. Among their most notable moves was trading goaltender Joonas Korpisa to the New York Rangers in exchange for prospect Kalle Vaisanen and a 2028 fourth-round pick.

First, trading Korpisalo freed up $3 million of cap space for the Bruins. When noting that the Bruins have a clear No. 1 goalie in Jeremy Swayman, they simply did not need to be paying Korpisalo that much to be their backup. This is especially so with the Bruins having other roster needs to address.

Another reason why the Korpisalo trade makes sense is that he was blocking Michael DiPietro from Boston's roster. There is no question that DiPietro has now earned a real chance in the NHL, as he was named AHL Goalie of the Year each of the last two seasons. In 45 games last season with the Providence Bruins, he had a 34-8-1 record, a .930 save percentage, a 1.91 goals-against average, and three shutouts.

With these factors, it is clear that the Bruins made the right decision moving on from Korpisalo. In 58 games over two seasons with Boston, he had a 25-19-9 record, an .894 save percentage, and a 3.03 goals-against average.
