from Tom Gulitti of The Record,

Martin Brodeur might still return to the Devils some day to work in their front office, but he does not anticipate that happening anytime soon with Lou Lamoriello no longer their general manager.

Although Lamoriello remains as team president in charge of hockey operations, Brodeur sees the Devils going in a bit of a different direction after hiring Ray Shero as GM last week and was already talking with St. Louis Blues general manager Doug Armstrong about remaining as part of that team’s front office. In fact, that will likely become official by the end of next week, after Armstrong returns from the world championships in the Czech Republic.

"Especially with the change they made, I think it’s a great opportunity for me to take a step back and go somewhere – or stay somewhere – that I’ll be able to learn and do things I want to do and try to learn as much as possible and who knows what the future [holds?]," Brodeur told The Record on Monday. "But, it’s less and less likely it’s going to happen in New Jersey for a few years, that’s for sure."
