More NHL: | | | | | The opted not to move before the NHLs trade deadline Wednesday. It seemed like a longshot for a number of reasons, but now that Brodeur knows where he'll Mike Boone Jersey end his season, he's looking for another shot. The 41-year-old wants to play in the NHL next season and that probably means with a team other than New Jersey.That would be just fine with Brodeur.The legendary goaltender shared more with Rich Chere of :Brodeur said he wants to play, but he wants to be in a situation in which he feels comfortable. And that does not nece sarily mean being a No. 1. No, just to play more and have the chance to win the Stanley Cup. Be in the Brett Jones Jersey playoffs, Brodeur said Friday. Those were some of the requirements I had, not just being outside looking in. I didnt want to come back to a situation like this.Brodeur said he wasnt surprised he wasnt dealt because his demands were very specific. He wanted to go to a contender. When the time comes, if it does, it will be a different situation, he told the . I dont think the market has changed for what I could bring to somebody, or here. Ill see.Its hard to imagine Bryce Callahan Jersey there will be a long line to sign Brodeur among teams looking to win a Stanley Cup. Even if he was the backup, its hard to know what kind of impact he would be able to make on a team with championship aspirations.Brodeur's numbers have been in decline for years and right now hes at a sub-.900 save percentage for the Devils this year. Perhaps theres a team that will value his experience and pedigree, or maybe his names ability to sell tickets, but thats about it.The Devils will have to think long and hard about this as well if Brodeur feels this is a team that can Justin Simmons Jersey contend next season (which is probably asking too much). is the No. 1 now and once this season ends, it might be time to cut ties with the longtime netminder to give Schneider some breathing room.Its always hard to see longtime players so far past their prime still trying to play, but its their decision to make. A player like Brodeur has more than earned the right to dictate when he says its time. Someone probably will sign him next year and he'll probably play, but it's John Elway Jersey hard to see a fairytale ending for one of the best goalies the game has ever known.
