While the goalie market appears limited at the moment, one player looking for a move is Chicago Blackhawks veteran Laurent Brossoit.

TSN Hockey Insider Chris Johnston notes that with Brossoit ramping up towards his first action since 2023-24, the netminder is looking for a team with a roster spot for him.

“He’s coming off a double hip surgery, and he’s been assigned to the Rockford Ice Hogs on an AHL conditioning stint. That’s the next step in his recovery. Now, he’s under contract with the Chicago Blackhawks, but they have two goaltenders ahead of him in Spencer Knight and Arvid Soderblom,” Johnston explained Tuesday on Insider Trading.

“Brossoit’s agent Ray Petkau has been given permission to speak to other teams to see if there’s interest. There certainly is some out there. They’ll be watching how he makes out in his return to the AHL and he will be a goalie that’s available in the near future.”

Brossoit signed a two-year, $6.6 million contract in 2024 but has yet to play a game under it. He carries a cap hit of $3.3 million on the now-expiring deal.

He posted an impressive 15-5-2 record with the Winnipeg Jets in 2023-24 with a 2.00 goals-against average and a .927 save percentage.

While the struggling Jets remain without star netminder Connor Hellebuyck for potentially another month, TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger reports the club is not in the market for another goaltender.

“Lots of people want to point to goaltending, and that isn’t the case,” Dreger expalined. “I mean, obviously, when you’ve got an elite goaltender like Connor Hellebuyck at your availability, he can mask a lot of defensive issues. But really that’s what it boils down to of late in terms of how the Winnipeg Jets are playing. Too many breakdowns in the defensive zone, too much time there, too much energy, which takes away from their offensive push.

“So there is no quick fix here. There’s no trade that’s going to help this. What may help it is a players only meeting, which they had after a humbling loss Monday to the Buffalo Sabres in Buffalo to re-establish that commitment to playing better defence, the identity of the Winnipeg Jets.”

Brossoit, a sixth-round pick in the 2011 draft, is 64-46-13 with a 2.64 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 140 career games. He also has played for the Edmonton Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights.
