Wow.. I guess my thread yesterday wasn't such a crazy thread afterall. I expect the Rangers will do the same with Redden.
I feel bad for Scott (he was still playing hockey this year even with the lockout) because he seems like a great team guy, but this is the smartest thing to do from the team's perspective.
Now, do we carry 22 players only? Or do we send him to the AHL (whilst still sitting him out), so we can carry 23?
He will be sent through waivers and be technically on Hamilton's roster.
Why?
1) He could potentially be claimed, but unlikely.
2) His being in Hamilton opens up 900k here.
3) One more roster spot in MTL.
