Good signing, I think.

He's generally been solid. The AAV is fine. He works well with Hellebuyck.

Jets will still need to sign another goalie for the 2021/22 season to meet the requirements for the Seattle expansion draft.

 

[jgimp]

Meh. Hopefully he has a bounce back year but the price is right

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

This is fine. Get it done and out of the way. Well done, Chevy. Our backup has a very light load.

If Helle gets injured, we are F'd. But we'd be F'd with pretty much any backup in that situation.

I don’t mind the signing, just another example
Of how the jets fear change though

Or, they wanted to bring back the goalie that their Vezina winner really likes working with.

 

[AWSAA]

Well, no rest for Helle. If the next season is compressed that could hurt.

 

[SoCalJetsFan]

This seems fine, nothing wrong with having someone that works well with your Vezina goalie.

 

[Teemusalami204]

Could be this as well. Little bit of both ...

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I mean considering Hellebuyck can handle a workload this isn't bad. But I think if Brossoit had the right coach he could emerge as a starter. But this is one crazy off-season for goalies, so this is likely the best bet for him.

 

[blueandgoldguy]

Bad AAV. He wouldn't have received more than the minimum on the free agent market...about a million considering the glut of quality of goalies that will be available. $500,000 overpay here, $3 million per year more than deserved for Perreault - these things add up and provide teams with less flexibility going down the road.

 

[bustamente]

I'm with people that say that Bucky and LB get along, continuity and a serviceable back up to play 20/25 games

 

[Hunter368]

I'm happy with it, keep goaltending stable. Now on to bigger & more critical moves.

 

[jetsforever]

I'm not a huge Brossoit fan but he seems like a decent guy and he's serviceable in a backup role.

 

[DRW204]

He was crap last year. But Helles best bud and Helle is a boss soooo

 

[Eyeseeing]

Nice to have him back.

 

[mondo3]

Was hoping for Lundqvist

 

[BatVader]

Chevy checking iff the to do list... now let’s get to work on Cirelli and an RHD upgrade

 

[jamiebez]

Honestly, wish I could say I'm fine with this, but it's really $500k too much. I think if they want to improve elsewhere they will need every dime.

I know they don't operate this way, but they could have squeezed him a bit here. Where else is he really going to go for that money?

On the bright side, maybe this means they have more money to spend next season that I thought. And it gives them a little more certainty going into free agency.

Boy you are really reaching on this one. Not sure how that’s even relevant. Only issue may be money. Otherwise you’re just complaining to complain. Shocking.

 

[surixon]

I'm fine with bringing him back, just not sure how the heck he got a raise after last years performance.

I'm hoping for league average performance from him in his games next season.

Does Berdin count or is he ineligible? I guess they are hoping to sneak Comrie through for that purpose if need be.

 

[cbcwpg]

Good signing. May not even get a lot of work next season depending how many games are in the season OR he gets a ton of work because they try to squeeze 82 games in a short period of time. Seems they don’t think crazy eyes can play with the big boys.

 

[buggs]

Does Berdin count or is he ineligible? I guess they are hoping to sneak Comrie through for that purpose if need be.

This was my thought on Comrie is to hang onto him until that time and then elevate him so that he can be the one exposed for the draft.

 

[DRC]

It's a fair contract. He and Helly work well together. Last season a lot of backups would look like shit. I think the signing could give him some confidence. This tells me Chevy has numbers crunched with whatever he's doing
