Wade Redden

[Booba1019]

He was just bought out by the Rags...

His best years were with Chara and I was wonder what you guys thinking of bringing him in on a very cheap contract? Low risk - high reward....it's PCs calling card!

Bruins>Habs put it best :

http://bruins.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=650067

from this, here are the defense men that were in camp:



Today, roster moves were made...Spooner, Bartkowski, and Johnson were sent down. So that leaves the d-core as:

Chara
Seidenberg
McQuaid
Ference
Hamilton
Warsofsky

So does this mean the 7th spot goes to Warsofsky? Or is a move (Redden) going to be made

Obviously, guys like Krug, and Exelby are also in the minors so they could just be called up...but until then, there is a chance Redden might be brought in due to the roster moves made today, who knows, but i feel he would be the perfect 7th d-man...Trying to prove he can still play, veteran, can spell Hamilton, knows Chara, Kelly, and PC...it looks perfect, and for 1-2 million, hell yeah. he's a better option than Johnson, Krug, Warsofsky, Bartkowski, and Exelby...either way, hope we hear something soon

With the mileage on him I think the rewards mediocre at this point but he's better than Johnson, Mottau, and probably even Zanon would have been. 1m, sure. I bet he'd love to share a locker room with Chara and Kelly again

You made my point better than I did....mind if I quote this to the thread starter?

I don't mind, if that's what you were trying to say, then go for it!

[homie564]

I wouldn't mind this move. He was a good puck moving defenseman in his prime.

[Pootamis91]

people are gonna laugh but i would pick up Redden. I have seen a lot of Hartford Whale games and Redden looked good. If he is only going to cost 1 mil then making a play for him is a no brainer

...... i'm just kidding, no one should laugh you for agreeing the B's should look at/pickup Redden.

Its good to hear he's looked good for CT though.

writer for the NY Post tweeted this a couple days ago:

Larry Brooks ‏@NYP_Brooksie
Told that Bos, Tor, Fla, Ott have expressed at least preliminary interest in Redden...

[Seguin]

IMO tho only thing that would prevent Redden from coming to Boston is $ or playing time. I think the Ott ship has sailed, too

Ott ship??

[Seguin]

As in I don't see him going back to the Sens

[Shaiza]

Read from McKenzie that the best situation for Redden would be a low pressure environment. We can provide that hear if he wants to hop on as a 7th defensemen.

I thought you were talking about steve Ott...i was confused as hell....

EDIT: i looked at the tweet i posted, and he said OTT was showing interest...my fault

and there is no doubt he'll get a chance to play...He'll spell Dougie whenever needed, and with the condensed season we know guys will get hurt or need a rest...i think we are the perfect team for him, he knows guys on the team and we offer a great situation for him here...

EKLUND:

Also I am hearing that Redden will almost certainly find a new home. So far I have heard the Kings, Leafs, Isles, Bolts, Sharks, Flyers, and Red Wings are all considering a shot at Redden

Well, we know he won't be going to any of these teams
