If Kenny could get rid of Schneider, I'd be interested.

Also pretty much the only way it can happen, unless Holland is willing to dump either of our younger d-men (Kronwall and Fischer) which I hope he isn't. Yes, Wade is better but he's also UFA next summer.

I'd never trade for Redden unless I could sign him to a long term deal before that happens. Too expensive a player to rent for one season only.

True, but he's also a guy that will be highly sought after as one of the top two impending UFA defensemen (he and Chara) and may want to test his value on the market. It would probably take $5M+ to keep him from testing the market where he likely could get upwards of $6M.
Schneider would have to go somewhere but I don't really think he makes sense in a trade with Ottawa. Datsyuk + Schneider for Redden is too much, but I doubt they'd toss in Havlat to balance it out.
That would be an absolute KILLING if Holland pulled that trade off. Odds are we'd have to dump Schneider elsewhere. And once you start having to line up multiple trade partners it can get sticky.peace

i don't think he is worth 6M as a free agent, but sadly, that is what he will probably get.
2 time all-star, appearances on Canada's world cup and olympic teams (i think),
good for 40 points a year....
i'd say he's worth $5M max. but.....he'll probably get much more.

What do you guys think of....
Redden/Spezza for Datsyuk/Kronwall?
-Both teams get proven stars and both teams get potential

We'd have to add at least a 1st round pick with that to get Spezza I'd think.

More realistic: Redden/Spezza for Datsyuk/Zetterberg
I would take the chance and make the trade of Datsyuk for Redden in a heartbeat.

Why would Ottawa trade Spezza? He's making next to nothing at this point in terms of salary, and he had around 80 points two seasons ago...

I think $6 M is a bit more than he can command, but who knows with the contracts signed recently by other defensemen. Detroit could afford him at $5 M next season. I agree that Schneider likely wouldn't interest Ottawa.

I don't think Ottawa will trade Spezza, he's the next big thing. He'll have a breakout season this year.

Not in the NHL he didn't. He's had 55 pts in the NHL, but the Senators have taken it slowly with this guy. He's coming off a great season in the AHL, and he's much better now than two years ago.

Ottawa Citizen reporting players likely on the way out, Redden more than likely the odd man out. Wings are first team mentioned in interests.

Trade for him, sign him to a long term deal, and make room under the cap.
Not likely.

I wouldn't do it either way, would rather keep Datsyuk. Isn't Redden scheduled to make 3.75m anyway? Just pay Datsyuk that if you're willing to take on that type of contract.
