Playing career
Redden has played all seven of his NHL seasons for Ottawa. He was the New York Islanders' 1st pick in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft, 2nd overall, and was then traded to Ottawa by the New York Islanders with Damian Rhodes for Don Beaupre, Martin Straka and Bryan Berard, January 23, 1996. In the 2005-06 season, he has missed games to be with his mother, Pat as she battles cancer.
He is considered one of the league's elite defensemen, as is his teammate Zdeno Chara. Redden is a very well-rounded player with an accurate slap shot and a world-class first pass when exiting the defensive zone. He is currently one of the leading scorers among defencemen in the NHL.
Redden played for Team Canada at the 2006 Winter Olympics.
