Although Redden skated yesterday, team officials have not the slightest intention of rushing him, not only to err on the side of caution but also because there is no sense of urgency.
Management has been extremely impressed by the performances of Redden's replacement, Jay Bouwmeester.
There was never any doubt about Bouwmeester's talent.
He was a full-fledged phenom when he was playing junior hockey in Medicine Hat as a 15-year-old, and he was the third overall draft pick in 2002.
But it takes more than talent to excel at this level. It takes poise and maturity, and the coaching staff wasn't sure, since Bouwmeester is only 20, that he would be able to play under the kind of pressure that exists sudden-death elimination games at this level.
