The Wade Redden era in New York has come to an end.
The Rangers assigned the 33-year old defenceman to the Hartford Wolf Pack on Monday.
Redden, who signed a six-year, $39 millioon free-agent contract in July 2008, never panned out for the Rangers, posting five goals and 35 assists in 156 regular season games with the team.
Redden has $23 million and four years remaining on his contract.
The move will allow the Rangers to bury Redden's cap hit and give them some breathing room under the $59.4 million salary cap.
According to the New York Post, if Redden's agent Don Meehan has been given permission by the club to make a deal with a European club if Redden doesn't want to play in the AHL.
Zitat von H.M. MurdockWieso, die ganzen Russen sehen, dass sie weiter ihr viel zu hohes Gehalt bekommen, egal ob sie in der NHL oder AHL spielen?!?!
So ist es. Und der Fehler hier liegt auch nicht bei Redden, sondern eher bei den Rangers, die ihm völlig sinnloser Weise so einen Arsch voll Geld gaben. Erwartungen verglichen mit Leistungen hin oder her- wenn ich einen Spieler so bezahle, dass er die Erwartungen mit seinen Lesitungen kaum erfüllen kann (was bei einem Ü30 Jahre alten Spieler ohnehin schwerer wird), siehts halt fast immer dumm aus, eh?

The report indicates the 38-year old Nylander will suit up with the Rochester Americans of the AHL until such time he's ready to return to the NHL.
"He's coming here to help our young guys," Panthers assistant general manager Mike Santos told the Democrat and Chronicle. "He's not coming here grumbling. He wants to resurrect his career for one more shot."
