What happened: The Boston Bruins have traded goaltender Joonas Korpisalo to the New York Rangers in exchange for forward Kalle Vaisanen and a fourth-round draft pick, per Chris Johnston. The deal moves Korpisalo out of Boston's goaltending picture as the offseason reshaping continues.
Why it matters: For Boston, the move opens crease minutes and salary flexibility heading into the 2026-27 season while bringing back a younger asset and a mid-round pick. For New York, Korpisalo adds an experienced netminder to the goaltending depth chart as the Rangers retool their roster for another push.
What to watch: Watch how Boston distributes goaltending workload after the deal and whether Vaisanen earns a look in the Bruins' system. On the Rangers' side, Korpisalo's role behind their starter will take shape through training camp.
