The Chicago Blackhawks have bolstered their goaltending depth by signing veteran netminder Laurent Brossoit to a two-year contract worth $6.6 million. The deal, announced on July 1, 2024, carries an average annual value of $3.3 million.
The signing aims to provide stability and experience to Chicago’s goaltending unit as the team continues its rebuilding efforts. Brossoit’s consistent performance and veteran presence are expected to be valuable assets for the Blackhawks in the upcoming seasons.
However, shortly after signing, Brossoit underwent meniscus surgery on August 27, 2024, which caused him to miss the start of the Blackhawks’ training camp. The team anticipates his full recovery and is optimistic about his contributions once he returns to full health.
This acquisition reflects the Blackhawks’ commitment to strengthening their roster with experienced talent as they aim to return to playoff contention in the near future.
