The NHL draft was largely uneventful for the Senators, so the “Summer of Doiron 2.0” truly started on July 1st. General manager Pierre Doiron made a splash in the goaltending market by signing former Columbus Blue Jackets and Los Angeles Kings netminder Joonas Korpisalo.
The Finnish goalie put pen to paper on a five-year deal worth $20 million ($4.0M cap hit). Korpisalo comes into the nation’s capital to form a tandem with fellow Scandinavian shot-stopper Anton Forsberg.
Ottawa needs stability in between the pipes. Last season, seven different goaltenders started a game for the Senators.
