The Winnipeg Jets best move of last offseason was almost certainly the quiet signing of backup netminder Laurent Brossoit.
The one year, $750k deal was cheap, no doubt, but also brought concerns, considering Brossoit was sitting on a career .897% save percentage in 28 career games, all with Edmonton.
Now, the Oilers aren’t known for their gifted player development squad, so it’s safe to expect many players to improve when they find greener pastures (see Hall, Taylor). But suffice it to say, most people were worried.
I was among them, though I did like what I heart about Brossoit.
