Brodeur: 'Nobody wants me to go anywhere.'

The Star-Ledger has the latest trade deadline thoughts from Martin Brodeur, following Thursday morning's skate.

The goaltender, naturally, has spoken with his wife about the situation.

“I can’t say what she said. Or my mom or my brother,” Brodeur said.

And the fans?

“Nobody wants me to go anywhere,” he said. “It’s kind of nice to have that support from the fans. They’ve been really loyal to me. So when they hear people speculating about me maybe moving or asking or getting asked, the people I’m seeing say they are happy and want me to stay. At least in my face they’re saying that.

“One way or the other, whatever is best for myself and for the organization, this is what is going to happen. One way or the other, I’m fine with it but I’ve played here all my life. Definitely it’s something you take a lot into consideration when the conversation (with general manager Lou Lamoriello) happens.”
