Confirmed Signing with Link: [VGK] Laurent Brossoit signs with the Golden Knights (2 years, $2.325M AAV)

Not an overpay. Brossoit is a top-end backup. If you look at the defensive environment around him, he really has excellent numbers.

 

[RustyCat]

Congrats Brossoit. Liked him as our back up and sucks to see him go. Vegas will like him. Good luck Bro!

Anybody that says this deal is bad is an idiot. That's a great price for him.

 

[GreenLine]

That's expensive for a backup. I'll miss him playing for the Jets though, he's a really solid backup.

Goes from Winnipeg where it is really cold to Vegas which is really warm.

Outstanding backup tendy. You got a great one. It's a hefty price to pay for a backup, but you can't do much better than Brossoit.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Not a bad signing for them

I firmly believe Broissoit can be a starting goalie in this league. Hope he gets the chance. Good for him.

Time will tell but I highly doubt he is starting goaltender material. He looked decent at times as a backup but he also looked pretty weak at times.

Time will tell but I highly doubt he is starting goaltender material. He looked decent at times as a backup but he also looked pretty weak at times.

The latter is due to being behind a terrible defense and yet he still excelled as a backup. His mechanics and positioning are solid. No glaring weaknesses and he works with Helle's goalie coach and has shown improvement. He is better than a backup but time will tell if he is a starter or a 1/a or 1/b goalie.

Good backup goalie.....Got a nice raise from what he made with the Jets.....don't see the value unless you have cap to burn to get to the floor

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

You know they just dumped $7M, yeah?

And have added what, 9.5? They were up against the cap as it was.

 

[Nighthock]

Does VGK have the same cap as everyone else?

We're adding $18 mil still, no?

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

He was good on Winnipeg.

It'll be funny if he ends up stealing the starting position from Robin Lehner though. Believe me, it is possible. He was a solid back-up though, a bad team could rely on him to be their starting goaltender.

Other than that, Vegas fans are going to love him.
