NEW YORK -- On Tuesday night, the New Jersey Devils will retire Martin Brodeur's No. 30 and raise his banner to the rafters of the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
On the eve of the ceremony, current Devils goaltender Cory Schneider reflected on the trade that brought him to New Jersey and what it was like to work with Brodeur. On June 30, 2013, the Devils acquired Schneider from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for a first-round pick (used to pick Bo Horvat) in that year's draft.
The deal caught many by surprise, including Schneider, who admitted he didn't know too much about the Devils organization.
