However, it was also a year that featured several big trades and free agent signings, coaching changes, and much more. Over the coming days, PHR will take a look back at the top stories from around the game on a month-by-month basis.
Korpisalo signed a two-year, $5.6MM deal with his $2.8MM AAV more than doubling his previous $1.15MM price tag.
Days before his passing, he had been placed in a medically-induced coma after suffering a brain bleed and underwent emergency surgery to remove a colloid cyst that was causing pressure on his brain and while that procedure was successful, he remained in the coma until his death.
He then filed a grievance to try to recover his pay, citing it was a hockey-related injury. That grievance was settled as part of the termination with the Jets not owing any of his $14MM that was remaining on his contract.
He split last season between the minors and a brief stint in Slovakia where he got to play with his brother Mitch.
