According to TSN.ca's NHL insider Darren Dreger, the Devils have done next to nothing to re-sign, and have had little discussion with unrestricted free agent and team legend and first ballot hall of famer Martin Brodeur. The living legend Devils netminder is said to have hired Pat Brisson to represent him and WILL test the free agent market some Sunday.
Dear Devils management, and this comes from a Red Wings fan, what the hell is wrong with you? To pull this (and even if he did sign why did it take you ANY time to re-sign him?) on Marty Brodeur, the face of your franchise, winner of 3 Stanley Cups and 5 Eastern Conference titles let alone the individual awards and stats is just plain, well, it's bush league. You simply don't treat people whom you KNOW you'll retire their number in such a fashion.
Certainly if Zach Parise had any interest in resigning with New Jersey this will make him feel a little bit discomforted. Unless Roberto Luongo or Tim Thomas come walking in the door at the Prudential Center the Devils will be taking a big step back in net next year.
Free agents come and go and good ones like Parise sometimes do leave. But treating Martin Brodeur this way is disappointing.
