He goes to the same goalie school as Helle does. He's Helles buddy. 

You think the pros know more? Nah that's crazy talk.. Ppl on fan forums know more. 

 My remark was clearly meant to convey a sense that if the Jets intent him to play 30 games, its a serious sign of confidence towards a goalie who has played a sum total of 22 NHL games in his entire life.  But feel free to always take the low road with your ******* comments.  Im still waiting for the Jets to get rid of Blake Wheeler, mr expert.

fantasy hockey question:

I was offered Vesalainen and Hoffman for Debrusk and Kase. Dynasty league with 18 active, 8 player reserve, and 20 minor league spots. Pretty much every stat counts. Would you make this trade?

Do AHL points count?

We don't know more than the pros...  but you never provide a link or source when you quote the pros either... so its hard to believe they said Brossoit will play 30+ games

Have been hearing from multiple hockey sources here in Kelowna that Brossoit has been working out hard with the other goalies here and has looked good.  Maybe following Carey Price's work-out every day will rub off on him! :)

Google the conference call when he was signed. Hes expected to play 25 to 30 games barring injury

The only reference I could find was this quote: “I can say that I have goals and I would like to play in one of every four and (the Jets) have said that’s definitely a possibility,” said Brossoit. That's only 20 games. 

I listened to his interview and Googled other references. 

If you could point me to the reference where the Jets said, 25 to 30 games, that would be great.

You going on about backup goalies still? Ok. 

I'll take that as a "no" you can't provide any evidence. 

And, yes, the back-up position is quite important, particularly in case of injury.

Its particularly important this year as we've had one season with Helle being a dominant starter.  We now have an unproven "safety net" behind him.  An injury would be disastrous.  But as a cap team, Jets have to be efficient with their money.   I did read that Brossoit was very well thought of around the league and could be a sleeper.

I've seen him play here with the Oilers. Meh is my 'not a professional' observation. But NHL proven Goalies do take more time to develop so there's that advantage for us, i.e., hopefully Oilers pay dearly for giving up on him.

The fact that the Oilers did give up on him is really what makes me think he has potential. They don't evaluate talent that well up yonder.

I thought they brought him in because he's good buddies with Hellebuyck and he put in the good word?     I would also never question the judgment in our scouts since they seem to rarely make a miss.

Hope so because it would be a double win for me, i.e., Helps my team and provides me with more ammunition to trash talk my Oiler friends and colleagues.
