Wade Redden's staying put...for now

Well that's disappointing. The weak, overpaid, and non-tradeable defenceman known as Wade Redden told Sens GM Bryan Murray that he wants to remain in Ottawa and is still committed to winning a Cup in the capital.

Then play like it Wade!

According to TSN, the San Jose Sharks have been inquiring as to whether or not he'd wave his no trade clause and be part of a deal that would likely see Patrick Marleau come to Ottawa.

I'd like to see him go. Especially if we could bring in a top-6 forward.

Forget the fact that his position is "defence", because he sure doesn't know how to play it very well. He's weak in the corners, in front of the net, and continuously gets burned by quick forwards that know he can't pivot fast enough. All that being said, and other teams still want him! Of course they do. They would be on the hook for a fraction of his $6.5 mill he makes this year, and he's unrestricted at the end of the year. Even if the Sens win the Stanley Cup, I would think Murray would be reluctant to sign him to another expensive multi-year deal. But who knows, maybe Sens owner Eugene Melnyk could entice ol' Wade to sign for less. Or, he may tell him to take a hike. We shall see...
