January 8, 2026
The San Jose Sharks have acquired goaltender Laurent Brossoit in a trade with the Chicago Blackhawks. The Sharks sent defensemen Ryan Ellis and Jake Furlong, along with a 2028 fourth-round pick, to the Blackhawks for Brossoit, defenseman Nolan Allan and a 2028 seventh-rounder. Brossoit agreed to a $6.6 million, two-year contract with Chicago on July 1, 2024. But he never played for the Blackhawks. The 32-year-old Brossoit missed all of last season after he had a meniscus operation on his right knee. He had been playing in the minors this year after returning from offseason hip surgery.
