Wade Redden was hoping to get a call from the Bruins this summer about continuing his tenure with the Boston organization after ending last season in Black and Gold. Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli held the 36-year-old defenseman as a veteran option, but didnt really have a spot for him given the abundance of young defensemen on the NHL roster. So Redden didnt sign with an NHL team this fall, and finally...
