The Winnipeg Jets knew something about Laurent Brossoit that most didn’t. They inked the mostly-unknown backup to a one year, $650K deal.
Thankfully, he’ll remain under team control as a restricted free agent. Unfortunately, the team is in cap purgatory and can’t really afford to spend big on a backup goaltender.
If someone wants Brossoit starting for them next season, in all likelihood he’ll be gone. Which is, you know, a bummer, since he put up 13-6-2 record with a .925% save percentage and a 2.52 GAA.
He had significantly better numbers than starter Connor Hellebuyck, but was never going to seize the job.
