I think that he can be a good backup to Talbot. Cheap and can still play and not hinder a team.

He's okay but he hits the panic button and lets in soft goals when some drives the net with the puck.

Not a horrible backup by any stretch. At least he is battle tested after playing with Boston's atrocious D in front of him last year.

Anyone that saw Broissoit last year saw that he wasn'nt ready to be full time back up. That being said, Chia said he wanted to bring in a goalie to create competition for that back up role. Good that this is a 1 year deal.

Wanted Enroth but Monster is okay I guess. If you wanna create competition for the backup spot I guess you sign an ok backup goalie instead of a good backup goalie.

I thought Brossoit was good enough to be their backup.

He had 2 good first NHL games then crapped the bed last year, albeit he was playing behind a heavily AHL defence due to injuries. We'll see if he comes in and plays better this year, if he looks great and beats out Gustavsson then thats completely fine.
