G Laurent Brossoit (2011, 164th, CGY; traded to EDM)

[CupofOil]

Not really, Calgary has done a good job with drafting goalies. Still have Gillies/Macdonald in the pipe.

Yeah, I was gonna say. Gillies is a stud, watched him in Providence and the Flames got an excellent one in him. I'd deal LB for him without blinking an eye.

With that said, very glad to have Brossoit in the Oilers system. There was lots of pooing on the trade when it happened. One of the few good MacT moves.

 

[McRpro]

Quite a few Oilers fans whined about trading Smid, a heart and soul player for junk at the time. I'm sure those posters have recanted their stance, right? Nah......still a lousy trade for the Oil!

Hell, I've seen a certain poster on the Oilers board complain about trading Penner for the Kings first pick in 2011. Fairly recently too.

Brossoit definitely showed a better performance last season and early this year.

 

[iCanada]

"He was like 5th on our depth chart"- Calgary fans.

Wow.

Those are some sexy numbers.

His GAA and SV% are like identical numbers. LOL

First time I've ever seen that.

 

[TKB21]

Like 3rd. I liked Brossoit as a prospect but yeah I still would rather have Gillies/Macdonald.

All the best to LB.

Classic flames fan logic, "Sure he's the best goalie in the AHL right now but I would still rather have the other 2 guys we didn't trade for smid"

 

[Cain]

As a flames fan I was disappointed when we traded Brossoit. Still think he has it in him to be a starter in the NHL and hated that we gave that to our rivals!

You'd take Brossoit over Gibson, Gillies etc?

Since when have the flames had Gibson?

 

[DraberlyakMcHallkins*]

might be talking about McDonald who's been a below average goalie in the Q so far this year. Not like Gillies has proven a lot yet, has promise though

I'd definitely take him over Subban or O'Connor right now, who have definitely been in the news a lot more...

His stats are reflective of his team; Charlottetown isn't really a stacked roster.

been outperformed by 2 other goalies on the team so far

not saying he's a bad prospect per se just that LB's a quality AHL starter that could probably be in the NHL next year maybe full time, while McDonald hasn't proven much of anything yet. Maybe if he was dominating the Q I'd reconsider

Either are the condors. With all the NHL injuries, the top 5 players gave been called up. Dillon Simpson on just came back. This team should not be winning with all its talent gutted

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

Either are the condors.

It's great that Brossoit is doing well for himself and for me a sign that Calgary's amateur scouting has really gotten a hang of what to look for in goaltenders as they were never all too satisfied with their Irving pick or prior - but the Charlottetown Islanders make every opposing team line look like Alfredsson-Spezza-Heatley on the tic tac toe. McDonald's stats don't mean a whole lot, though I'm sure he would like them to be better.

I think Edmonton's development method was the reason for his emergence. He had average echl rookie numbers with Alaska but really broke out on a linear basis in Edmonton. For whatever reason oilers AHL goalies do pretty good in okc. However those guys were tan Dennis and bachman, both older goalies.

Flames have a stacked goalie prospect pool and obviously a great eye for that talent. So I thank god that oilers were able to get such a good caliber goalie for smid. One of macts only good deals

Edmonton really cannot draft goalies.

I like the idea of not using top 3-4 round picks on them and just signing FA goalies out of college or the CHL. CGY signed Ken Appleby out of Oshawa who I think is a pretty good goalie. Was up there for OHL playoff and Mem Cup MVP. He's doing well with Adirondack

Our amateur scouts must have just gone to games, got wasted by the ten minute mark, passed out, and faked their reports. Only plausible explanation for being that awful for that long.

Devils signed Appleby.

 

[McMoMoney29]

Now tied for first in save percentage in the American League with budaj

 

[Aceboogie]

I think a goalie blog ranked top goalie prospects in the off season. Brossoit was like 30th despite posting numbers comparable to top 10 guys. You'd have to think he's top 10 or even tip 5 right now. He's incredible

He's almost as good as Comrie this year....

 

[Aceboogie]

That's true. Comrie benefits from small sample size. LB is .970 in last 5

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Just called up to the Oilers.

Sporting a .921 SV% in the AHL right now. Kid's got to be a top 10 goalie prospect in the league. Excited to see him get a couple games.

Nilsson's last full game was Jan 19th against the Lightning. He hasn't won a game in two months. Poor Talbot.

when is he expected to get a start?

No word on that yet.

Toronto tomorrow would make sense.
