IDK. I've been getting mix feelings from Ranger/Whale fans on the boards blaming some of Reddens' faulter on Tortorella. Some are saying he's been awful for the Whale. Tough call but if Lombardi is interested, I'm sure his scouts have informed him on some pros Redden still posseses and is worth a minimal $ signing.
That's probably the key right there. I wonder if he can get a one-way deal from anyone.Quote:

With no disrespect intended towards anyone, signing Redden would seem like Ethan Moreau 2.0 or Trent Hunter 2.0. I'd rather give someone from Manchester a shot.
would it help?Quote:

it can... remember, no one here wanted anything to do with Sheldon Souray two summers ago (neither did i, i should add), and he wasn't very wanted around the league either. Dallas took a flyer on him and he had a helluva year, and parlayed that into a 3-year deal at almost $4 Million per... despite being over 35.Quote:

Success at this level clearly has a mental/stability/chemistry component.
Also...
**** Wade Redden.
If Mitchell was healthy we would not be having this conversation.Quote:
