Bruins' Trade for Ullmark Raises Questions About Cap Strategy

Boston's acquisition of Korpisalo and draft pick may not provide the expected financial relief.

The Bruins traded Linus Ullmark to the Senators, receiving Joonas Korpisalo, a first-round pick, and forward Mark Kastelic.
Korpisalo's $3 million cap hit limits the financial flexibility the Bruins hoped to gain.
Korpisalo struggled last season, ranking near the bottom in key goaltending metrics.
Boston's defensive structure might help Korpisalo improve, but his contract remains a concern.
The Bruins have options to manage Korpisalo's cap hit, including potential trades or buyouts.
