Confirmed with Link: Brossoit 1 year 1.5aav

[voyageur]

I thought they might give Berdin a shot this year. I wonder how much longer he is willing to ride the bus. With Comrie signed, and Berdin conceivably #3. I don't see how Holm comes over this year, unless we make some moves.

And as for the expansion draft we can give a QO to Berdin, that's all that needs to be done in order for him to be exposed.

Well hopefully Brossoit has a better season. Will get some action with back to backs. As a goalie he's pretty athletic and seems like that is a better recipe these days than being technical.

I like it.
LB is familiar with the system and his D men and signing says he wants to play here. Bad year for a goalie to become an UFA...lotsa good ones available this off season. Holtby to Beefalo makes a lot of sense.
7.667m for goalies is not out of whack at all.
Harkins is next I hope.

Berdin needs to show he can handle a starters workload first.

My bet is he's penciled in as the backup for the 21-22 season.

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.

I have no problem with the signing. I’m just saying it’s foreshadowing how the rest of the off season will go

If he doesn't get taken in the expansion draft.

 

[KingBogo]

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.

Wouldn't Berdin meet the requirement as he will be entering RFA status next season?

 

[LowLefty]

Put a decent D in front of him and he might surprise some - good signing

 

[KingBogo]

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

Berdin counts by my reading of expansion rules.

 

[KingBogo]

The Jets have a Vezina goalie who is best buds with the back up who has been nothing but professional while giving us decent back up goaltending. Why on earth would you change this if you didn't have to?

 

[Neuf]

Hmm no C19 discount, but I've got no problem with this. Hopefully he's better than last year but that goes for plenty of the Jets

 

[MardyBum]

A whole lot of meh.

 

[Guardian17]

I'd rather have Brossoit than Comrie as our backup.

He was not a decent backup goalie.

From the 60 goalies who played 10 or more games, Brossoit was 53rd in save percentage at .899.

Aces, Chevy. Keep up the good work. Scarlett couldn't be happier.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

The team in front of him was absolutely abysmal with horrific PK, so I'm not reading tooooo much into this year's stats for LB. We are spoiled with Hellebuyck, he carried this team to the play-in round by himself.

 

[Whileee]

He was not a decent backup goalie.

From the 60 goalies who played 10 or more games, Brossoit was 53rd in save percentage at .899.

He was outstanding the year before. 0.912 save percentage over the past two seasons. Last season was a gong show on the Jets' D. Not a bad bet by the Jets.

 

[Scheifele55]

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.

Laurent Brossoit has been in the NHL long enough and has played under several coaches and his history dictates that he is a superb goaltender on a great team and a below average goaltender on a mediocre to average team.

 

[Lowered Expectations]

I like this. Fix the D and Croissant tastes very good again.

 

[Channelcat]

Excellent deal. Had a rough season, but I think everyone knows he's got more. Plus he likes this organization.

 

[objectiveposter]

awful signing. brossoit was absolute trash last year... any modern goslie with a save percentage below .900 doesnt deserve an nhl contract. jets better off signing a random young backup for less than a million.

 

[objectiveposter]

for everyone saying he just needs to play in front of a great defense... news flash... the jets arent going to be great on defense next season... and brossoit has shown in his career when you play poorly in front of him he self destructs.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

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

He doesn't really need to bounce back. Don't let the sv% fool you in a small sample. He played well but the team in front of him was dirt. Bad as they were in front of Helle, they were worse in front of him - and his low sv% just underscores how good Helle really was.

I think this is a bit of an overpay. Same pay as last year should have been the max offer. But I think they signed the right backup goalie. I would have preferred 2 years also.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

He was not a decent backup goalie.

From the 60 goalies who played 10 or more games, Brossoit was 53rd in save percentage at .899.

And playing behind an epically bad D.

Edit: He did not face enough shots last year for that sv% to be meaningful. Beware of small samples.

Jets D will be better next year than it was last year.

He did not self destruct. In fact, he played well under the circumstances. sv% is not meaningful in 500 shot increments. If he plays exactly as well, or poorly as he did last year, he will have a much better sv%.

He was mediocre. Watching the games he let in plenty of questionable goals. It doesn't matter how many games he played and ten games is enough of a sample size to show he is a below-average goalie.

Who cares how well he played the year before!? The year before that he played poorly. He has a career save percentage of .897. Do those numbers indicate a good backup goalie? Do those numbers indicate a contract worthy of anything above the league minimum?

There is a glut of goalies that will be available this off-season. Starters and backups. Brossoit would have never received more than 1 million anywhere else based on his track record. As I said, overpaying by a $500,000 for a franchise that tends to watch it's dollar and cents is not a good strategy even if it is one year. That is $500,000 less to fill another hole.
