But Mitch Marner's and Travis Konecny's is.  I am simply cautioning against some of the draft bias that pervades rankings.

 

Domi out weighs those guys by 30-40 lbs.

He'll also turn 20 in March where as Marner won't be 18 til May and Konecny is 18 in March. They could gain 20-30lbs in 2 years.  To make the NHL they will have too.  Marner for instance went through a growth spurt where he went from 5'6" to 5'11" and that's great but he's gotta get his muscles to catch up.

This is where your scouts earn their keep.

Seriously... who'd have thunk he'd be following in Garth Snow's footsteps?

You want to know the funniest part about what you just posted? Garth has been the GM of the Islanders for just about 9 years now, yet he's only 3 years older than Brodeur.

Lou said that Brodeur will only be with the Blues front office for the rest of this season and then will leave them to return to New Jersey in their front office...

That's just nuts.

So next year when Lamoriello inevitably fires his coach, we can now expect to see Marty behind the bench?

So in other words, St. Louis found a round about way to keep paying him even though he's retiring.

Maybe he can convince some players to leave with him to NJ.  A little infiltration.

Both teams had to have talked about and agreed on it.

I just don't get it from the Blues perspective. What could they possibly gain from it? The only way this makes any sense is if it's purely a title and Brodeur really sounds his time on the couch watching soaps.

My guess is that Brodeur wasn't going to retire unless he could continue to collect paychecks. Hand him a paper title in the front office and problem solved. So yes, he's not doing a damn thing with this job.

IMO Brodeur was the best goalie of this era (1980 onward), with Roy 2nd and Dom 3rd.

 

All he did was win.  He was fantastic from day 1 for almost half his life.

Swap Brodeur and Roy. I know Devils fans that say Brodeur doesn't hold Dom's jock strap.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON to revive this one.
