Redden, Rozsival Make All-Underachiever Line-up

Scott Burnside at ESPN.com doesn't feel the announcement of NHL All-Star reserves has enough excitement so he came up with his own rosters for his own All-Star event including an All-Underachiever team...

THE ALL-UNDERACHIEVER LINEUP
We actually could have put together an entire team of underachievers, but no sense being too mean to too many so early in the new year, is there?...

Wade Redden, New York Rangers - Redden's play might be slowly turning a corner in New York, but it's been pretty grisly through the first half of the season for the longtime Senator who is in the first year of a six-year, $39 million deal. What was Glen Sather thinking?

Michal Rozsival, New York Rangers - Notice a trend here? Four years, $20 million. Earth to Glen … Earth to Glen … come in Glen.

...a few more weeks of Rozsival playing at his current level and I think he can be taken off this list.

...and when Burnside says Redden's play might be turning a corner does that mean he's now closer to the level of a high school player.

Remember how different NHL playoff hockey is than regular season hockey? I think Redden and Naslund will step up x10 come playoff time.

You could add Gomez to the list too.

Yeah Jack, I'd love to hear your reasoning on why you think Redden will all of a sudden wake-up in the playoffs.
