from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun,
• There’s a lot of talk the Rangers are looking to move either D Wade Redden or D Michal Rozsival. Both were signed to new deals in the off-season, but Redden, who agreed to a six-year, $39-million deal, has a no-movement clause in his contract, making it more likely that Rozsival would be dealt.
• The Canucks are waiting to see what happens with Sundin before deciding what to do with D Mattias Ohlund. The Canucks are more likely to move Ohlund if they sign Sundin because of salary-cap considerations. Ohlund, who can become a UFA on July 1, will command a five-year deal worth around $30 million.
• The Panthers are trying to move C Nathan Horton. He is scheduled to make an average of $4 million on a contract that runs through the 2012-13 season, which could make him difficult to trade.

But really, the no move clauses hardly ever stop them from making a deal. I mean, once they ask you to waive it, would you really want to stay? The only thing it helps with is that you can pick or choose what team you want to go to. So instead of getting traded to a last place team, you can go to a contender, even if it isn’t the best deal for youre team.

Except in this case, Redden was asked to waive his clause once before, in Ottawa. And he refused.
