Rumor: Martin Brodeur leaving St.Louis

[Devils Dominion]

lol if Chris becomes the GM of the Devils, I officially give up

I agree but what is your reasoning why you think that Chris Lams should not be given a chance?

because it means more of the same philosophy and I want a change.

Honestly we assume that but how do we really know? Wirtz's kid was nothing like Dollar Bill, Hal Steinbrenner is a lot more rational than George and Stephen Jones is the only reason Jerry didn't waste a first rounder on Manziel.

Why the hell would anyone want Brodeur in a management role? Let him work his way up from the CHL if he is serious.

I think Brodeur is smart enough to do it if he spends some time learning the in's and out's ..let's not forget the guy used to negotiate his own contracts without an agent, he's already been at the negotiating table before.

garth snow has decently after a heavy criticism early on

im confident marty would do fine given the chance

 

[NJDevs26]

Marty 'now' has more front office experience than Snow did when he first became GM.

who knows, Maty might become a good GM. Does anyone know if Yzerman had any GM or AGM roles before tampa?

Assistant GM work with Detroit Red Wings, and GM work with Team Canada.

I like the idea of MB working under Lou for however long he continues.

I think Marty has a good progressive view in the new NHL. Just look at his comments comparing NJ and St. Louis style of play. He knows the new NHL and the old one.

 

[NJD Kula]

If Marty becomes GM and follows the Yzerman model it wont be for another 4-5 years. I can see him as A.GM for a couple of years and running Hockey Canada tournament rosters and such. If Lou doesn't bounce by around 2018 then some other team will snatch him up. Groom him to be GM if that's really something he wants.

Exactly.

It's this, "HOF career nepotism" that's ruined several NHL franchises. Or at least put them through a decade of hell.

I have no idea WTH anyone thinks Brodeur is even remotely qualified to saunter into a GM role anytime soon. HFBoards tomfoolery at it's finest.

 

[NJDevs26]

Marty's not getting a GM job THIS offseason, at least not here. People mostly want Marty to apprentice under Lou.

Ya I am not sure where this idea that he would just come in and run things with no experience came from. He would come in as an assistant and get mentored for years before taking anything over.

Gotta start some where. Players have gone from retirement to management in the past and i believe Marty can if he wants.

Bring him on as an Asst. GM does that for a couple years then promoted to GM while Lou keeps the President title for a year depending on how Lou feels. I do agree with an earlier post that Chris Lam plays a part. Another thing about Chris, if the guy had the skill to be a good GM i cant imagine that someone somewhere in any league across North America wouldnt have come calling for him already.

However he(Chris) started out as a scout i believe he might be more in-line to take over for Conte when he is ready to go.

But this is all speculation because once Lou decides to leave the whole damn thing could get changed up. You will need a President and whatever else.

Conte added his son to the scouting staff before last season even though he had no playing nor coaching experience at a high level of hockey.

I dont think that matters. This is all stuff that is going to happen sooner rather then later and i dont think Conte's son would really be in the running at the moment.

He's not in the running for anything but it demonstrates an unhealthy practice of nepotism within the Devils hockey ops.

Would you rather have an experienced and quality scout or Conte's son evaluating college and junior players?

If it's true he's a New England scout does that mean he found Miles Wood because if so that's not a bad find.

But in the grand scheme of things I would prefer not to have Conte's son or someone in the current department.

Maybe he found him via a photography shoot?

I don't understand what Marty is thinking - but him coming back seems long way off now..feeling little bitter about this.

I thought what he gave to this organization and what we gave him this would be a no brainier - very stubborn confusing Marty has been past couple years with his actions

Already being discussed in the team thread, plus this isn't a particularly accurate thread title now.
