Martin Brodeur Wants to Stay With Devils

Filed under: Devils

The New Jersey Devils nightmare season continued on Tuesday night at the hands of the Washington Capitals (losing 5-1), dropping their record to a disappointing 9-22-2. Along with the second worst record in the league, the Devils also have the worst goal differential (yes, even worse than the Islanders, who currently own the worst record in the league) at a stunningly low minus-44.

By comparison, the Devils finished last season with a plus-31 mark.

As of Wednesday afternoon, New Jersey is 18 points out of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, and is in real danger of missing the postseason for the first time since 1995-96. When seasons go this poorly for teams, it's not uncommon to see front offices start selling off veteran players in an effort to look toward next season. One of the most marketable players on the Devils roster might be future Hall of Fame goaltender Martin Brodeur, currently in his 16th NHL season.
