Report: Maple Leafs 'have some interest' in Martin Brodeur
Free agent Martin Brodeur raised some eyebrows Wednesday after he was spotted talking with the CEO of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, Tim Leiweke at the Yankees/Blue Jays game at Rogers Centre.
Would the Maple Leafs have interest in the future Hockey Hall of Famer?
Might be only exploratory, but I'm told Leafs do have some interest in Brodeur as possible backup/mentor to Bernier next season.

Whether Brodeur would be interested/comfortable in that role is the main question for Leafs -- and for Brodeur..

if Brodeur was to sign with Toronto, it would all but mean the end of James Reimer's tenure as a Maple Leaf. Earlier Thursday, general manager Dave Nonis wouldn't rule out Reimer returning to the club next season.
