Redden wants to win the cup in Ottawa!
by JT UTAH
I’m pretty sure you guys read a lot about that situation, but if you haven’t, here’s a little resume.
GM Murray wanted to trade Redden, who will be a free agent this summer, to the San Jose Sharks. Matthew Carle was supposed to be in the deal. The info come from tsn.ca. The father of Redden was the leak.
Why Murray wanted to trade Redden?
Well, Redden will be free agent next year and his current income is 6.5 M. The Sens have already given some major contracts to key players like Spezza, Heatley and Alfredsson. Murray will have a hard time offering more than 5 M without busting the salary cap. In an interview, Murray said he was mad that the information about the deal got blown up in the media. Murray also clearly denied that Carle was offered by the Sharks.
On the Redden side
Wade said he wants to stay with the Sens cause he thinks he has the best chance to win the Stanley Cup. He is also getting married this summer and he’s willing to go for a discount contract to stay in the Canadian capital.
