The strange thing about the Redden signing was that the Rangers paid him as if the previous season never happened. Redden's stock went down - way down - yet the Rangers gave him top 10 D type money.<BR/><BR/>Waiving him might have to happen, but man, that's going to be a tough hit to take.jamestobrienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16607553979777452973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3761321691079178688.post-66594840597231006422009-03-20T12:42:00.000-05:002009-03-20T12:42:00.000-05:00Dammit, I tried answering "Your Mom" on the poll. ...Dammit, I tried answering "Your Mom" on the poll.

The best years are going to get wasted because of the Redden signing. The Rangers could have managed with Gomez/Drury. The Redden signing is one of the worst contracts in the history of sports in my opinion. It's up there with Mike Hampton, Carl Pavano and Barry Zito. Because of his contract, the best years of Henrik Lundqvist are going to be wasted. <BR/><BR/>I do think that Rozsival can be traded and I wouldn't be surprised if he is. If Jim Dolan actually cares about the franchise though, he's going to waive Redden and eat his contract. That's the only way the Rangers are going to be able to survive. Then on top of that he's going to fire Sather. <BR/><BR/>The thing that worries me though is what the 2010-2011 cap is going to look like. The cap may not reflect the economy next year, but by the 2010-2011 season it most certainly will. <BR/><BR/>http://themanicranger.blogspot.com/2009/03/atrocious-wade-redden.htmlCanyon of Blueshirtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08963604662950354647noreply@blogger.com
