ST. LOUIS – Martin Brodeur is moving in to the front office of the St. Louis Blues.
Blues general manager Doug Armstrong announced on Wednesday that Brodeur has signed a three-year deal to be the team’s assistant GM.
Brodeur played seven games for St. Louis last season, retiring Jan. 29 to become a senior adviser to Armstrong.
“It’s a great opportunity,” Brodeur told the Blues website. “I got a little taste of it last season and really enjoyed being around Doug and the organization. It’s a good fit for me, and it works out well. I’m really happy about it.
“I want to put the work in. I want to learn how everything works, to learn the organization. I’m committed to do the work and do as much as I can to help the team get better. It’s a good fit for me to be able to learn what I have to learn.”
The 43-year-old Brodeur played 21 seasons with the New Jersey Devils before his brief time with the Blues.
