Wade Redden is just Old
“Nice play, old man.”
It was a jibe from an opposing player after the puck hopped over Redden’s stick during a recent game. He’s heard stuff like that and shots about how much money he makes (about $81,000 a game, or more than a typical AHLer makes in a season). – Edmonton Sun
“He’s what I call a ‘pacer,’” the scout said. “He’s used to playing a lot of minutes every night, so he paces himself each shift.” – Edmonton Sun
“I thought his play has been up and down. It’s been a bit of a struggle, he has to finish harder,” Gernander said. “I know he’s not a rock-’em, sock-’em defenceman, but he’s got to finish his checks with force. He has to be there 100%, with conviction.”

His career is done. He really needs to just retire already and go play over in Europe because he is just going to keep taking constant abuse if he does not. It is a little depressing that he hasn’t even had a little self respect for himself and actually perform well in Hartford. Oh well if I was raking in $6.5 mill a year I would probably do the same…..maybe…..not.
