There is no way they take Redden back, so forget it, were stuck with him. You would probably have to look at Rosy, Korpikoski, maybe a Dane Byers or Greg Moore with this years #1. The salary exchange would be close since Rosy makes $5mil and Korpo $1mil so they need to clear another $1.5 to fit him in, which would be saved from not resigning Antropov or Zheradev. I don’t know what Ottawa would want but you start with one vet, a young NHL ready player, one in the system knocking on the door and a pick. Just a thought..

We really have to make a serious push to get this guy, in his career he averages more than 1 point per game, more than 1 goal every two games, and has a couple of 100 point seasons. Not to mention he is only 28. I know Dubinsky and Callahan are younger, but they dont have anywhere near the potential that this guy has already proven. Rosival, Dubinsky, plus this years 1st rounder works for me. Dont forget, he was traded for Hossa when Hossa was already established as a top player and didnt disappoint. While we love Dubinsky, is still unproven. And, the Rangers never get an impact player in the draft, and the 19th pick this year wont be any different. I think we still got enough left on the team to trade Gomez, Sanguinetti, and Korpikoski for Kovalchuk , who is only 26. I think these deals will make us a better team and they will save us cap space for a free agent pickup or two.
