Wayne Gretzky’s sons didn’t go on to become NHL superstars.
By all accounts, I’m sure Jeremy Brodeur was a perfectly fine goaltender.
But NHL generational all-time great?
Or at least not until he put on a Devils sweater for the first time.
Last night Jeremy Brodeur started in net for the Devils in a preseason game against the New York Rangers.
Well it seems like Jeremy Brodeur putting on the “Brodeur” Devils uniform did the same thing.
I don’t have any qualms with nepotism.
People who hate nepotism should really just hate their parents instead.
But we still can’t be having “Like Mike” situations in professional sports.
Teams should only be allowed to have one generation of a generational athlete.
You simply cannot allow them to have the next.
Maybe I’d be willing to compromise here and say you just have to skip a generation.
