In A World of Sports

TSN is reporting that Bryan Murray, GM of the Senators, asked Wade Redden to waive his no trade clause today for a move that would have seen Redden move to the San Jose Sharks.  Redden, however, said no.  He wants to help guide The Sens to a Stanley Cup.  Redden as you know, is the guy the Sens picked over Chara and has since showed his appreciation for that massive vote of confidence by continually to stay the exact same and not improve his game.

What is unclear is what the Sharks offered up for the defenceman.  I would assume the only offer that makes sense is a Marleau for Redden swap.  Marleau needs out of San Jose and The Senators need greater offensive depth.   Could have been an interesting trade for both teams, but Redden wants to stay, despite apparently not being terribly wanted.
