In 2013, then New Jersey Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello gave his legendary goaltender Martin Brodeur the honor of selecting his own son, Anthony, during the seventh round of the NHL Entry Draft.
Three years later, Lamoriello is now in Toronto and after the younger Brodeur never received a contract from the Devils, the Maple Leafs GM invited the 21-year-old to the team's development camp.
"I'm going to take a tryout from an NHL team any day," Anthony said, according to Jonas Siegel of the Canadian Press.
Last season, Brodeur led the BCHL with 28 victories while posting an excellent 1.99 goals-against average and a .931 save percentage with the Penticton Vees.
The Maple Leafs currently have four goalies under contract with Frederik Andersen, Jonathan Bernier, Antoine Bibeau and Kasimir Kaskisuo. Meanwhile, Garret Sparks - who appeared in 17 games for Toronto last season - remains a restricted free agent.
