Wes Goldstein at CBS Sportsline gives his 12 players that are in desperate need of a turnaround...3. Wade Redden, New York Rangers: The Ottawa Senators chose to keep Redden rather than Zdeno Chara after the lockout ended and regretted it for the next three seasons. Although he is a decent puck mover, Redden often plays soft and tends to give the puck away at bad times. Still the Senators likely would have hung on to the veteran defenseman had he taken a 50 percent cut from the $6.5 million he made a season. But the Rangers matched his previous salary and gave him a six-year deal, which is a gamble for a 31-year-old whose best days might be behind him.
...Redden more than any other player this off-season has taken a beating from the press. He's like the Sarah Palin of hockey. I hope he can use it as motivation.
