Martin Brodeur News

Brodeur set to retire; will join the Blues front office.

The NHL’s all-time winningest goalie made the decision after taking a break from the NHL team to ponder his future. Two sources confirmed that Brodeur took the Blues up on the offer of an executive role. Brodeur, 42, joined St. Louis following an injury to Brian Elliott in late November and went 3-3-0 in the only NHL games he ever played outside of the New Jersey Devils organization. He became the odd-man out when Elliott returned earlier this month to reform a tandem with Jake Allen.

The Blues have extended Brodeur’s leave of absence past the one-week that he was originally granted. With Brodeur being the third goalie on the Blues roster, there is likely little playing time available for him, so he is at home weighing his options.
