Brossoit was acquired in 2013 from the Calgary Flames. At the time, the Oilers paid a decent price to pry the Flames 6th round pick of 2011, sending workhorse defender Ladislav Smid southbound on the Queen Elizabeth highway.
The most recognizable thing about Brossoit is his history with the Edmonton Oil Kings. For three full seasons, he manned the number 1 goaltending duties for the WHL powerhouse. He backstopped his team to a WHL Championship victory as well as a Memorial Cup appearance in 2012.
