Todd Cordell: Could Martin Brodeur Return to the Devils?

Just call it quits.......

If Brodeur can accept only 20-25 starts then I would gladly take him back.

I'd rather not deal with his sass.

No way he comes back.

I can't see this happening. Even if Brodeur "accepts" 20 starts a season, the potential media fiasco during any losing streak won't be fair to Schneider or PDB.

So.... when do we get to call him Brett Farve?

He won't...he wants 700 wins...unless he takes an office job he needs to stay off the roster for the good of Cory...poor kid has gone though enough to be a number 1.

I'm with you, but Dreger mentioned it and there's nothing else going on so I'd be ignorant not to write about it.

It would be nice if he did, but also better if Brodeur retired a Devil....

How much coin should Lou give him? $2M for 20-25 starts?

Who cares?

Go away Brodie...seriously...just go away.

He still might whether he signs or not

The only reason why I would want him as back up is if Cory gets hurt do you really trust Clemmensen or Kinkaid starting 30-40 games?

Do you really trust Brodeur starting 30-40 games?

I don't see any way he comes back short of an injury. He was just plain bad last year. Sure he had a few games where he looked like he turned the clock back about 10 years, but most of the time I was holding my breath every time the puck was shot at our net.

More than Clemmensen or Kinkaid, yes

Nope. I have this crazy theory that Lou purposely signed a meh AHL goalie like Clemmer so that Kinkaid can outplay him with ease and snag the bakckup spot. Thereby earning his NHL status and not having it thrust upon him.

I mean, there were other serviceable backups out there. Clemmer was signed as a stepping stone for Kinkaid IMO.

1 yr $2.5 mil play 20 games and retire at end of season

I'd probably take Brodeur over Kinkaid or clemmer for 30-40 games, yes. But that's like asking if you'd rather drink your favorite beer for the next 9 months, but its a few months past it's expiration date, or drink nothing but keystone or natty lite for that same 9 months. Personally, I'll stick with my favorite beer (I've done it before it still tastes ok and I can't think of a better metaphor right now).

The reason I wouldn't want him back otherwise is he can't seem to keep his mouth shut and his presence is too much of a shadow over Corey. What happens if he has a stretch of bad games? Do they then go back to rotating the two? It's not fair to him when he's clearly the better goalie (him being Corey).

That'd be funny if we signed Bryzgalov.

Why you heff to be mad?

Kinkaid is somewhat untested at the NHL level, but he is good, and I feel he is really the better choice of the three at this point and time. The one NHL game I saw him in he played very well (when Marty was injured and Hedburg turned funnel two years ago.)

Keith had a top 3 (he was third) record in the AHL in 13-14 posting a .912 in regular season and .932 in the Calder cup playoffs.

Kinkaid also would do whatever he was told and work his ass of if given the opportunity.

I love Marty but his battle with butthurtitis somewhat crippled his game play and certainly his like-ability last year.

Also - the outdoor game, there's that.

Marty was plain bad last season who's to say he will be better then either guy ? I'd rather him just announce his retirement or have him sign a twenty game contract if possible to give him a shot at 700 and if not he legally can't play more then the twenty does anyone know if that's possible ? I know players signed I day contracts to retire with a team
