Wade Ridding

Wade Redden will be placed on waivers in a little under an hour, practically ending one of the worst contracts in NHL history. The 33 year old and his massive $6.5M annual cap hit and four remaining years, is not expected to be claimed, and he will be assigned to the Hartford Wolf Pack.

The widely anticipated move means that Glen Sather has once again effectively rid the team of another bad contract, making this a pretty active year when it comes to removing unwanted players.
