New Jersey Devils: Top 3 candidates to replace Ray Shero
New Jersey Devils. Martin Brodeur. 3. player. 85. . Hockey Operations Advisor
In their statement on Sunday night, the New Jersey Devils announced they gave Martin Brodeur a promotion. He’s now officially “an advisor to and on hockey operations”. Brodeur has steadily been working his way up in the front office trenches.
He got his start with the St. Louis Blues in 2014-15, serving as an assistant to the General Manager. From 2015-16 to 2017-18, Brodeur served as an Assistant General Manager. He also served as the interim goaltending coach in 2016-17 after the Blues fired then-goaltending coach Jim Corsi.
In 2017-18, Brodeur also got involved with Hockey Canada’s front office, serving as the assistant general manager for their men’s team during the Spengler Cup and Karjala Cup. Moreover, he got his first experience as a general manager during the World Championships, during which the team lost in the bronze medal game. Brodeur rejoined the New Jersey Devils in 2018, getting a job as their Executive Vice President of Business Development.
If Brodeur is interested in the vacant general manager role, it would be very hard for the Devils to not give him an interview. He’s the most popular player in franchise history and has been steadily working his way up in multiple front offices. Brodeur might be ready to be a general manager.
