Posted: 24th May 2010 by Todd Cordell in NHL
Though there are not many options out there, I really do think the Devils are in search for a new starting goaltender.
Here are some of the possible options for the starting goalie in New Jersey next season.
Martin Brodeur
Obviously I would start with their current goaltender.

From 1998 to 2004, one of the game's premier point guards and its most versatile big man shared the court for the Dallas Mavericks.
Together, Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzki resurrected the franchise that had one playoff appearance from 1988 to 2000. In that span, the Mavericks posted nine straight losing records, including two of the worst regular seasons in NBA history—11-71 in 1993 and 12-70 in 1994.
