so gordie howe, michael jordan, and joe montana all hurt their legacies by playing for another team too right?
this is such a dumb argument

At first glance at that URL, I thought that it said "amish legacy." Needless to say, I was confused.
It's very easy to say that it doesn't hurt his legacy, but I imagine that most who have expressed that so far would agree that it would've been even better for him to have worn only one jersey and retired with the team that drafted him. There's just something extra special about players who play their entire careers for a single team, especially when they're HOF quality. I think that we're all secretly a little disappointed that that isn't the case here, even if we support his decision to try to get 700 wins with another team. Basically, it probably takes a little bit of luster off of things, but there's so much luster on an absolutely sterling career that it really doesn't make much of a difference.
By the way, if you feel that the argument in the OP is stupid or dumb, saying so in a one or two sentence post isn't contributing a good argument, either. Put some thought and care into your reply if you're going to criticize something that someone else put a lot of time into, or don't reply at all.

Of course he isn't. Brodeur will be considered one of the best, if not THE best goalie of all time. Him playing for St Louis will have absolutely no negative impact on that.
If he plays well and helps St Louis win a Cup? His legacy will be improved.

marty is still playing because of the divorce imoIf you mean he is ending it looking like an egotistical person? Yeah, he hurts his legacy that way. Brodeur already isn't seen as a nice guy though, you know, caught cheating with nanny/babysitter, got divorced, and then married the nanny.
