The British Columbia native was stellar for the Jets last season as Connor Hellebuyck's reliable backup. He managed a 15-5-2 record with a 2.00 goals against average and a .927 save percentage. His play helped him earn a pay raise through free agency and will see the 31-year-old work in tandem with veteran netminder Petr Mrazek.

Chicago likely won't have too difficult of a decision to make as Brossoit has been one of the league's most underrated netminders. During time with the Jets and Golden Knights, he's secured a 57-33-11 record with a 2.56 goals against average and a .914 save percentage in 112 appearances since the start of the 2018-19 season.
