Adam Proteau of The Hockey News gives his Top 5 Worst Signings this off-season...2. Wade Redden, D, Rangers (Six years, $39 million)
Speaking of being rewarded for diminishing returns, Redden secured a lucrative Manhattan transfer despite all but being run out of Ottawa after a year where you often required a Global Positioning System to find him on the ice during games.
But hey, maybe I’m wrong and Redden will rebound from a season in which he posted the lowest goal total and shooting percentage of his 11-year NHL career. And perhaps he’ll continue to earn every penny of his $6.5 million-a-year contract even when he’s 37 years old.
If he doesn’t, there will be no shortage of “I told you so” talk ringing in the ears of Rangers GM Glen Sather – most of it originating from citizens of Canada’s capital city.
...hopefully the Rangers PR staff is printing out all this negative talk on Redden and giving it to him in an effort to motivate him.
