I was looking at some young goalies around the league, and Mrazek blew me away how good he is in the NHL. Looking at his development thru the AHL, we should use it as a guide for Brosssoit. Hopefully one day Brossoit can be as good
Mrazek was a 5 round pick in 2010, Brossoit was a 6th round pick in 2011
CHL- final year
Brossoit- 0.917
Mrazek- 0.917
Similar junior careers, both promising guys, neither were blue chippers in junior
AHL- 1st full season
Brossoit- 53 GP 0.918
Mrazek- 42 GP 0.916
Both got an NHL game after their firts season. Mrzaek got 2 and was 0.922, Brossoit got 1 GP and was sensational with a 0.961 and 60 shots against. Advantage to Mrazek tho as he was 2 years younger than Brossoit was in his first full season. However, both look pretty similar here too
Here where we need to pay attention.
2nd AHL season
Brossoit- 0.924 (currently this season)
Mrazek- 32 GP 0.924 sv%
Mrazek then went on to get 9 games in the show, with a very good 0.927. It was around this point in time Mrazek was solidly on the radar as a blue chip prospect and potential future starter. If I remember correctly Barons played the Rapids in the playoffs and Mrazek was a brick wall. It was only a matter of time for him. By all accounts, Brossoit is currently a brick wall down in the AHL. The only reports ive seen of him are that hes playing amazing and only reason they are in playoff hunt. This is where Oilers should bring up Brossoit for 5-10 games. Give him some solid experience
3rd AHL season
Mrazek- 13 AHL GP 0.927, 29 NHL GP 0.918
Brossoit- TB
4th season (this year)
Mrazek- 0.932 in NHL (33 GP)
Whats the take away here? Well looking at their careers, they are almost identical in junior and first 2 AHL years. We are at a point in time with Brossoit that Mrazek was in 2.5 years ago. He was brought up for 9 NHL games, then spend the next season half in AHL, half in NHL. Then the season after, he became a full time NHL player
For Brossoit, we should follow the same guide. 5-10 NHL games this season. Next season 15-25 NHL games (essentially a back up whos spends his games off in AHL). Then in 2017-18 look to bringing him in full time- assuming he develops properly and ready for it
