Fantasy Analysis
After 13 seasons in the NHL, Wade Redden was demoted to the AHL last year and chose to play the year out with the Hartford Whale rather than walk away from one of the worst contracts (from a team standpoint) in NHL history. So long as Redden remains in the AHL his albatross of a salary will not count against the Rangers' cap. If he wants to skate in the NHL anytime in the next three seasons Redden will have to walk away from a contract that pays him $6.5 million a year. Doing so would probably mean taking a pay cut in the range of $5-6 million per year, and there is no guarantee that the 34-year-old defenseman would make an NHL roster at this point in his career.

09/25/2010 18:45 Rangers waive expensive defenseman Redden
The New York Rangers placed defenseman Wade Redden on waivers Saturday before their preseason game against the New Jersey Devils.
It'd be shocking to see Redden play again for the Rangers. Between his play and contract, the Rangers demoted him and moved past him. The only way Redden see the NHL again is if he decided to walk away from his contract and another team signed him to a new contract. (Updated 8/16/11)
