No but another first round pick from a team that is likely trying to meet the Cap floor wouldn't suck.

fair point

Nice stats breakdown in that article jstew. Lack had a great year last year and really, has come out of nowhere.

Still, I like Green and think he is dismissed way too easily by some people and would love to have him back.

If the Penguins didn't have Letang, I'd certainly offer him $5-5.5m as an UFA in a couple of years. I rarely base a players value on more than just the prior season, but the combination of injury and system swapping makes it hard to judge clearly.

I think this had more to do with the new systems that he was playing in. I say "systems" because Hunter changed systems mid-shift sometimes.

It is a win-win for us. If he signs, we get a potentially great player. If he signs elsewhere, we get a 1st and 3rd and more cap space.

I don't want draft picks - I want a fucking Cup! The window on this team is either closing or they'll need to transform.

I understand about the systems comment. Good point, BUT I think it's overstated (haven't several teams won a Cup with new coaches in recent years?) and it only takes about 20 games to integrate a playing style. And most importantly, Green had 1 assist in 87 PP minutes? That's pathetic. I could get 1 assist in 87 PP minutes if you put me with Backstrom and OV.

i would hope he's happy with the organization and is just looking for a healthier raise ... but ... offer sheet ???

46, how about the Sharks trade you Dan Boyle, Ryane Clowe and a 1st Round pick for the rights to Greene, Troy Brouwer and Jason Chimera?

You are going to get one of these in DC before a Cup:

I also think Green was playing hurt quite a bit. He was a lot better int he playoffs. he was pounding shots, even if they didn't go in.

Ahh.....no

Same! There was a Caps' fan at a game about 3-4 years back ragging on Green every...single...time he touched the puck. I told him he had no idea how important Green was to the team and that he should say something positive instead, "we've chased away enough Hall of Fame defenseman with fan antics in this town." Only time I've ever said something to a fellow Caps' fan at a game. He shut the fuck up about Green the rest of the night.

I just want him to get healthy and play better. To be honest, he's had a lot of bad luck as well - pucks to the face, etc. Hope we sign him b/c I don't think we have a chance at a Cup without a healthy Mike Green.

I agree. Especially since this has become a powerplay league, his value is much higher than we're seeing.
