With the Winnipeg Jets, Brossoit\u2019s last NHL action was a successful season. He posted a 15-5-2 record with a .923 save percentage for Winnipeg in 2023-24.<\/p>\n<p>The Sharks were able to shed Ellis\u2019s contract, which has been stashed on LTIR for four seasons running. Ellis last played in the NHL in 2021-22 for the Philadelphia Flyers. He is effectively retired, but has one more season remaining on an eight-year contract originally signed with Nashville that carries a $6.25 million cap hit.<\/p>\n<p>Brossoit carries a $3.3 million cap hit and joins <a href=\"https:\/\/sanjosehockeynow.com\/san-jose-sharks-askarov-nedeljkovic-discuss-importance-of-a-learning-mindset\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Alex Nedeljkovic<\/a> and Yaroslav Askarov on the Sharks\u2019 first playoff push in six seasons.
