The Columbus Blue Jackets have reached the point where they need to evaluate all options, specifically in the backup goaltending role. With Joonas Korpisalo‘s annual downward trend continuing with an abysmal save percentage and goals against average, despite a winning record, he’s not good enough to push the team to the playoffs behind Sergei Bobrovsky.
If Bobrovsky were to get hurt, Korpisalo certainly wouldn’t be good enough to lead the team to the post season either. As a result, the Blue Jackets need to look to external options both through the avenue of trade and free agency.
