Except he's been kind of mediocre lately...

I guess so. But after so long of dealing with that organization's luck...they always find some way.

Minnesota, though. You'd figure Marty would want to go to Montreal.
 
@WFAN660 BREAKING: #NJDevils, #Wild reportedly agree to deal that would send Martin Brodeur to Minnesota. | cbsloc.al/1jOCmzF
 
Lol @ Marty. This is exactly why i cant stand him. He wants to grace his fans with one more game in a Devils sweater before high tailing it out of Jersey to get more playing time. What a pretentious *******. If you want to go, just go.

Happy he was traded though, because all of the Devils fans who said he would be a Devil for life and would never be traded can eat their crow. I hope Minny collapses and misses the playoffs.
 
Well alright. Awaiting details. Why Minnesota of all places.
 
So I heard we rejected the 6x6.3 can we trade this guy now instead of waiting around hoping he drops down to the still outrages 6x6 offer? Good thing the team doesn't have a game until after the deadline because this is frustrating.

Forbes just released their 2014 best place to retire list, and the Minnesota Wild were ranked number 14.

I hope the ice is crappy at the Rock tonight :sarcasm: and he gets lit up and yanked.

How awesome wouldn't it be if he gave up four softies and was pulled in the first?
 
They've been looking for a veteran to help them in the playoffs should Keumper take a nose dive.

Minny is a great team if they get good goaltending. Backstrom has declined (really declined, not just fan sentiment). Minny is an elite team with good goaltending.

Backstrom is like 5-15 or something, and the other goalies are well above .500.

Nashville is another team that needs goaltending.
 
If they're looking for good goaltending they should be looking for someone other than Brodeur
 
That contract is until 2020 for Erhoff. not interested in that.

31 year old point producing defenceman making just 4 per on his cap hit?

We would potentially have him for 7 years beyond this one.

Thats' not bad.

Additionally, the cap recapture penalty remaisn with Buffalo.

Finally, very tradable in years 4-5-6-7 as he is paid

Year 4 - 3 mil
Year 5 - 1 mil
Year 6 - 1 mil
Year 7 - 1 mil

depending on the assets, that contract doesn't scare me.
 
I don't think Minnesota's defense is good enough in the West.

Not for a deep playoff run no. They have Brodin and Suter out there for 30 min a night. Those two will get run every time they handle the puck, so they aren't going deep at all if those two wear down.

But they can def make it into the 2nd or 3rd round with a good goalie. They can do what LA can't and that is score with 3 lines, and play a fast game with great team defense.

With the playoff set up the way it is this year, one or two of CHI, STL, ANA, LA, and SJ will be out in the 1st round.
 
Minnesota is interested in Halak. Kuemper has played well for them. Not sure if they trust him. Harding has medical issues with his medication.
