Brossoit has yet to prove he's an NHL calibre goalie IMO. Don't really regret losing him one bit. Flames got the best player in that trade. I was far more concerned about losing Horak who looked promising but the Oilers didn't even use him properly. Oilers gonna Oil. They waste the best player they got in the deal and promoted Brossoit before he was ready and have likely ruined his development. Just failfish all around.
We have 3 young goalies better than Brossoit. No point crying over losing him.
