Here’s the odd thing: I DON’T want to see this happen. Two reasons:

1) Though I’m sure he’s a fine goalie, he has a hell of a name to live up to in NJ… or anywhere, really. I don’t want to see him burdened with that. The only child of a legendary player to become legendary himself, off the top of my head, was Brett Hull. But that’s it. Nothing against Anthony’s abilities, but it’s a big name

2) the Devils have been stockpiling goalies over the past few years, including a couple within the last year or two that have real potential. Keith Kinkaid, Scott Wedgewood, Maxime Clermont, Jeff Frazee - it’s a crowded system for goalies. Adding another prospect would make grooming a new one even harder. (Personally, I believe that Keith Kinkaid has the strongest chance right now, followed by Wedgewood. It looks like Frazee’s chance has past and Clermont is unproven but I don’t see him reaching the NHL long term to be honest.)

Fun fact: Anthony Brodeur once responded to me on twitter. His brother Jeremy once retweeted me.
