Laurent Brossoit Clears Waivers, Assigned to Rockford IceHogs

Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Laurent Brossoit has cleared waivers and will report to the Rockford IceHogs. This transaction is expected to facilitate a trade for Brossoit, who has not played an NHL game in over two years. The Blackhawks signed him ahead of the 2024-25 season but later acquired Spencer Knight, making Brossoit expendable. Clearing waivers allows an acquiring team to assign him to the AHL if needed, aiding his return to form.
