The Edmonton Oilers are looking for a change in net, and now a mock trade has them landing former Winnipeg Jets backup Laurent Brossoit in an intriguing deal. After two straight failed Stanley Cup Finals runs, there have been many suggestions on how the Edmonton Oilers can take that final leap, with many looking at the goaltending as a potential spot for an upgrade ahead of the 2025/26 campaign. From acquiring big name stars to running it back, every option has seemingly been suggested by Oilers fans and reporters, but now, <a href='https://heavy.com/sports/nhl/edmonton-oilers/trade-pitch-brossoit-hawks-intriguing/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Heavy Sports have suggested a surprise trade</a> that would see them land a new backup in the form of former Winnipeg Jets backup Laurent Brossoit. In the deal, the team would get Brossoit with money retained and a pick for a minor league goaltender and another pick, giving them three goalies to battle it out for two NHL spots next season. Oilers receive: Laurent Brossoit ($1.65 million retained) 2026 seventh-round pick Blackhawks acquire: Connor Ungar 2028 third-round pick Brossoit hasn't played in the NHL since 2023/24, and in that season he posted a fantastic .927 save percentage and a 2.00 GAA in 23 games played, with a career average of 2.64 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 140 games. If Brossoit gets more of an opportunity, there's a belief around the league that he could be more than serviceable in any role given to him. Ultimately, at this point it looks like Kris Knoblauch and the Oilers are content to run things back in 2025/26 with the duo of Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard, and unless there's a big upgrade to be had that makes sense, they're content with doing just that.
