Fair enough, I didn't see much of Roy in junior so my evaluation isn't very valid. Just forming my opinion on the fact that many people were pretty optimistic on Roy while he was a junior goalie, but when he graduated to professional leagues he couldn't translate his game. Brossoit is at the point now where his junior stats are still making him look very strong while he hasn't yet really proved anything at a higher level yet.
I was never crazy high on Brossoit, mainly because of how good those Oil King teams were he played for, and the fact he never really had a very impressive SV% even with a great defensive core in front of him. His size and flexibility always kept me intrigued as to what he could become as a goalie, but it was always going to be a bit of a gamble to guess if he would make it to the NHL ever.
