Redden says to waiving his no-trade clause

Once again, Wade Redden has been approached by Sens GM Bryan Murray to waive his no-trade clause.

The first time Redden was approached was during the 2007 NHL Entry Draft back in June of last year. Murray had a deal in place with an unnamed team and all he needed was Redden agreeing to waive his no-trade clause, but he declined.

And today, Redden was once again asked by Murray if he’d be willing to waive his no-trade clause after the Sharks made an inquiry if Redden was available. Again, he declined to saying he’s committed to another cup run with the Senators.

If Redden was willing to waive his no-trade clause, it’s almost certain that the trade would of had struggling centre Patrick Marleau going the other way; the top-six forward that Murray’s been seeking all along.
