Thread: Kings "kicking tires" on Redden

Per Bob McKenzie:

Multiple teams considering options on both. LA, STL, TOR, FLA among those kicking tires on Redden, ANA and CAR among those considering Gomez

If the dude's willing to sign for around 1 million... sure.

Sign him! But only if he's guaranteed to score the GWG in 3OT of game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final vs. the Rangers.

wouldn't hurt

I have no idea at all if he can still play at all. I assume he hasn't completely forgotten how to play and can still be a bottom pairing D-man, so I guess the only question is what would be the cost?

Not exactly "kicking" the tire, but a good summation of Redden's hockey career, none the less.

I think someone will want to 1) pay more then the Kings should and/or 2) be able to offer him more ice time. He is kind of a question mark. It will be interesting to see how he does this year.

Some on HFBoards were really down on his performance in the AHL...but if he were to sign a 2 way deal for cheap it would be low risk gamble knowing we could send him to Manchester.

I would bet he'd take less money for a one way deal. I'm sure he wants to stay out of the AHL...
