«There is no truth to that,» said agent Markus Lehto, adding that Korpisalo «loves it in Boston,» as transcribed by James Murphy of RG.org.
After signing Boston Bruins goaltender Michael DiPietro to a two-year, one-way deal late in June, trade speculation with Joonas Korpisalo has ramped up.
DiPietro had a standout season with the Providence Bruins posting a .927 save percentage, along with a 2.05 goals against average, and earned him self the AHL goaltender of the year.
Despite his frustration with the Boston Bruins organization, Korpisalo's agent confirmed that he has not requested a trade.
