Goaltender Martin Brodeur will announce his retirement and join the front office of the St. Louis Blues, the team announced Tuesday.

The Blues will hold a press conference at Scottrade Center on Thursday at 11:30 a.m. ET with Brodeur, who signed a one-year contract with the Blues on Dec. 3 after a knee injury to starting goalie Brian Elliott left them short at the position.

Not surprising. Because he was under contract with the Blues this year it would not have been possible for him to join the Devil's Front Office this year, instead he will be joining the Blues'. Brodeur retires with NHL records in both Wins and Shutouts.

I am sad to see him go, I've had the opportunity to see him play a number of times both in Washington and in New Jersey against the Capitals. The Game as seen few goaltenders who could match his skill and it will be missed.
