There were reports that the Senators were keen on getting Andersen but both Andersen and Raanta decided to remain with the Panthers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eliteprospects.com\/player\/44198\/joonas-korpisalo\">Joonas Korpisalo<\/a> played for the Los Angeles Kings and was looking to find a new team.

The Senators decided to invest in Korpisalo as they believe that he is yet to hit his peak form with Dorion stating that Korpisalo was still scratching the surface with regards to his potential and there was a lot of upside for the Senators as they have him on a 5 year contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Finnish goalie said he was happy to sign with the Senators and join forces with <strong>Anton Forsberg<\/strong> to strengthen the Senator\u2019s defence.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"korpisalo-looks-to-bring-consistency-to-senators\"><strong>Korpisalo Looks To Bring Consistency To Senators<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Korpisalo told media that one of the things he was looking forward to was bringing consistency to the Senators <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/hockey\/nhl\">ahead of the new NHL season<\/a>. Korpisalo has played with Forsberg in the past as the two of them were part of the Lake Erie Monsters (American Hockey League) and teamed up to help the Monsters win the 2016 Calder Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Forsberg is still recovering from MCL tears in both his knees<\/strong> and will also be happy to team up with Korpisalo and strengthen the Senator\u2019s defence.
