On top of that, he is still under contract for 5 years which only in-creases (PUN) his value on the trade market. If the Knights were to deal Brodeur, they got a pretty good return. Not only did the receive a proven #1 goaltender, they also got a potential franchise wingerin Martin Havlat, a potential 2nd line winger in Kyle Calder and a future #1 keeper in Antero Niittymaki.
