There are plenty of goalies who handle the puck as well as Brodeur (Turco) who are affected by the rule which is as much about keeping the neutral zone unclogged as it is about affecting goaltenders.

Turco does not handle the puck as well as Brodeur. Trust me.
Flyers are spiraling downward. Wow. Never would've thought they and the Hurricanes would be where they are at this point in the season.
It's fucking great.
Let's give credit where it's due. This is the guy that started it all.
And I really don't expect you to feel any differently than you do. You're a jaded Devils fan who belittles all time greats like Hasek & Roy constantly. Brodeur is among the best to ever play the game and handles the puck as well as anyone. He isn't alone in being a great puck handling goalie and I think I saw him almost give up a goal last night with his prowess. Or was I hallucinating?
I'll also say that Lundqvist if fucking terrible and among the worst in the NHL at handling the puck. No question about it. :)
I do give Hextall full credit. Thankfully, Bettman wasn't around to try to take away part of his game for absolutely no good reason. And I am a large Roy fan. Hasek is an overrated piece of shit though.
A guy with a lifetime save % of .922 in 750+ career games cannot possibly be overrated.
Anyone know the specifics of why a goalie can't wear the "C" but can be team captain? Seems asinine to me. Luongo, Brodeur, and Lundqvist should all be captains of their respective teams as far as I'm concerned.
