Korpisalo profiles as a decent backup for Swayman, but Kastelic could be the sneaky grab of the trade. The 25-year-old didn't light up the stat sheet during his three-year tenure with the Senators... an important stat last season was his 54.5% faceoff win mark and he's won 56.3% of his faceoffs in his career.
Kastelic and Beecher both can play center or on the wing... Kastelic should provide the physical presence that was much needed against the Florida Panthers in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. His youth also is a plus compared to Pat Maroon...
The center also is not all show as he's logged plenty of fights in his NHL career. It shouldn't take the TD Garden crowd too long to appreciate Kastelic's physicality and willingness to drop the gloves.
