$3.3 million goalie among 3 players placed on waivers today
The NHL waiver wire is slightly busier today, with Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Laurent Brossoit, who hasn't played since before last season, being among the players now up for grabs over the next 24 hours.
The NHL waiver wire is busy today, as there are three players who are up for grabs over the next 24 hours.
Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Laurent Brossoit, Dallas Stars defenseman Vladislav Kolyachonok, and Detroit Red Wings forward Jonatan Berggren are all on waivers and have 24 hours to clear. If they are not claimed, they'll be sent to the American Hockey League.
Brossoit's most recent year in the NHL came in 2023-24 with the Jets, and he went 15-5-0 with a .927 SV%.
Kolyachonok has played for multiple teams in his NHL career, including the Arizona Coyotes, Pittsburgh Penguins and Utah Hockey Club.
He was traded from the Penguins to the Dallas Stars for Matt Dumba over the summer.
Berggren was taken by the Red Wings with the 33rd overall selection in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, but has not been able to grab a permanent roster spot. He has 64 points (31G, 33A) in 169 games.
Laurent Brossoit Has Not Played An NHL Game Since Before Last Season
Brossoit is the most interesting of the players who are now up for grabs, as he has an AAV (average annual value) of $3.3 million but has not played a single NHL game since before last season.
He was signed by the Blackhawks to a two year contract after completing his second tenure with the Winnipeg Jets, but injuries and surgery have kept him from playing.
He has a career record of 64-46-13, and won the Stanley Cup in 2023 with the Vegas Golden Knights.
