This summer, the Toronto Maple Leafs are on the hunt for key players in NHL Free Agency, and finding a reliable goalie is at the top of their list.

Last season saw a carousel of goalies due to injuries and inconsistent performances. Joseph Woll is under contract for one more year at a modest $766,667, while Ilya Samsonov, who had an up-and-down season, is heading into free agency and looking for a long-term deal.
One intriguing option for the Leafs is Laurent Brossoit as a tandem goalie to share starts with Woll. Brossoit had a stellar season with the Winnipeg Jets, boasting a 15-5-2 record over 23 games and finishing with a .927 save percentage, the best among NHL goalies who played 20 or more games.
Mirtle says his understanding is there is mutual interest between the Leafs and Laurent Brossoit 👀

Brossoit's top priority at 31 will be to go to a good team where he can start frequently and he believes the Leafs fit the bill

His guess: a relatively short-term deal around $3M
At 31, Brossoit also brings championship experience, having won the Stanley Cup with the Vegas Golden Knights in 2023.
During that run, he played eight games, recording a 5-2-0 record with an .894 save percentage. Despite his limited appearances�just 34 games over the past two regular seasons�his strong save percentage suggests he could be a solid pick-up on a shorter deal come July 1.
