Laurent Brossoit Clears Waivers

November 11, 2022 at 1:05 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 6 Comments

Nov 11: Brossoit has cleared waivers and can remain with the Henderson Silver Knights.

Nov 10: The Vegas Golden Knights had a roster crunch coming, as Laurent Brossoit inched closer to a return from injury. The team had two goaltenders – Logan Thompson and Adin Hill – playing outstanding hockey, with only the former waiver-exempt. Instead of moving one of them out, they’ve decided to risk Brossoit today, placing him on waivers according to Chris Johnston of NorthStar Bets.

Brossoit, 29, is coming back from hip surgery and has played two games with the Henderson Silver Knights on a conditioning loan. His placement on waivers today indicates that he is healthy enough to be activated, and suggests that he will be headed back to Henderson if he clears.

It won’t just be the injury that makes teams hesitate to claim Brossoit. He has a $2.325MM cap hit this season in the final year of his deal and he was brutal in the conditioning games, allowing nine goals on 39 shots. For someone to invest in him now, it would mean keeping him on the NHL roster. Even last season didn’t go well, with Brossoit posting an .895 in 24 games for Vegas.

More likely he’ll end up piecing his game back together in the minor leagues and waiting for another opportunity with the Golden Knights. Thompson and Hill are anything but proven at this point, so even if they are playing well there’s no guarantee it continues. Having a veteran option like Brossoit would be ideal for a club like Vegas which has its eyes set on the Stanley Cup once again.

      I’m not sure anybody in the west wants to do Vegas a favor by claiming him and easing the Knights’ cap crunch.

      It would be better to trade for him after he had a few more game in the minors and keep him in the minors until needed.
