Oh, it's good for the Devils, in that they get their starter back. It's bad in nearly every other facet, however.
1. He's 40 years old. Is he gonna come back looking like the Brodeur who finished the year, or the one who started it, that couldn't stop a beach ball?
2. He's 40 years old. That makes his multi-year Over-35 contract a mandate for the Devils. That means if he's injured, retired, whatever — it doesn't matter. His $4.5M cap hit sticks, and for a team with $175M in outside lender debt, that's a serious mishap should anything happen that would cause them to be paying off a roster ghost. Bankruptcy still looms.
3. He's 40 years old. Even if he plays both years, what does that say for a future starter in net? Better hope you can find one in free agency or trade, because Jeff Frazee is cannon fodder.
