Ice Scoopz: Friday Noon

*-> I'm hearing more and more about a possible Martin Brodeur trade in the aftermath of the Jaime Langenbruner deal. New Jersey has yet to ask Brodeur and is rumored to be waiting for Marty to bring up the idea first. Martin has made it very clear he wishes to remain a Devil but is willing to do whatever the team asks. People around the New Jersey organization have said Brodeur would like to play another season before retirement. This leaves an interesting situation for Devils, do they part with their longtime franchise goalie or do they keep him despite the rebuild situation and put him through another struggle of a year? The Los Angeles Kings and the San Jose Sharks are highly interested but the Devils would be asking a steap price if they were to consider dealing Brodeur.

*-> In other New Jersey rumors an Ilya Kovalchuk to the New York Islanders is starting to surface over and over again. The Devils organization would part with Kovalchuk if they can reap more than they lost from the first trade for Kovi rumors are reporting. Its tough to say, Yes Kovalchuk has had a horrific year but if they cant resign Zach Parise they are in trouble offensively so I expect unless they know for sure or they get a major offer then they will wait.

More in a bit including the rumors mentioned this morning.
