My point is, other GMs are probably not aware and obviously not at the same breaking point that we are at with this player. As far as the rest of the league is concerned, status quo, he's our overpaid #1 D.

You can say redden wasn't effective as a ranger and didnt earn his money, but at least his teams made the playoffs some of the time.
Maybe most gms blame Brent for Bo's performance. That's probably reasonable on their part, unless they're actively pursuing him. If they are, they have 248 games of flames film where they can see him for what he is.
I used to think he was just overpaid by about a million, a million five. But the more I look at him and realize just how little he impacts games, he's overpaid by four or five million dollars, EASILY.
Every single vivid recollection anyone has about this guy involves him coming up short when his team needed him most. I can't see how that player brings value to the organization, no matter how many minutes he plays
