Entering the new season, there are still a couple questions regarding the Boston Bruins lineup especially in net, and there is a chance that one of them are moved before, or during the season.
All three of Boston Bruins goaltenders have been in some trade rumors, with Joonas Korpisalo and Michael DiPietro being in them the biggest ones.
Jeremy Swayman was connected to the Edmonton Oilers at the beginning of the off-season, but since then it seems like the Boston Bruins have their faith back in him, and he will be their starting goaltender entering the new season.
It's just unclear who will be their backup goaltender for the 2025-26 season.
NHL insider believes the Boston Bruins are going to move on from Korpisalo
With the Boston Bruins having three goaltenders signed to a one-way contract, something has to give entering the new season.
Rob Couch of NHL Trade Rumors believes that Joonas Korpisalo is going to be on a different team for the 2025 season.
From Couch:
Joonas Korpisalo isn't too happy with his situation on the Boston Bruins as he played just as well as Jeremy Swayman last season and got 24 starts to show for it. He is looking for a bigger role and won't find it in Boston. With the team wanting to have Michael DiPietro in the NHL as he's ready to graduate, Korpisalo has been in trade rumors and should be traded. His cap hit is $3 million AAV for three more years and he was good in Columbus and LA. The Bruins could also retain even more to move him.
Korpisalo ended up calling out the Boston Bruins at the end of the season because he barley saw ice time.
If the Bruins were smart, they would move on from him and allow DiPietro a chance in the NHL, especially with how much promise he has right now.
