I'm having trouble understanding why the universal thought is that the price for Mike Green is generally pretty high.
If they are indeed asking for what others have suggested....
Why does Washington think they can reel in a high end, young, NHL-ready talent, a top prospect, and a high round pick for a guy who's value has dipped GREATLY, has one year left on his contract, and, from the structure of their team, is expendable?
When Spezzas and Keslers are being traded for the returns they got, that seems highly unreasonable even considering different positions are being compared as well as the manufactured value of a right handed d-man.

LOL, he took BAD risks and made BAD moves.
He traded Sergei Bobrovsky for 3 picks.

They, as an organization, truly are a clown show.
Hell, they gave Paul Holmgren a promotion...

.....are you serious?
He should not sign a 3rd pairing defensive defenseman to a dollar figure higher than Christian Ehrhoff....

Anyone here mentioning Filppula being a Stastny is ridiculous. The guy was nothing more than a 3rd line guy that couldn't take a hit nor throw one. I don't care if he scores 50 for Tampa cause he would never have scored 50 for us, ever.

Yeah, I'm not sure how realistic it is to expect more than that from a 2nd line center. That is why they are 2nd line centers.
If they scored 70-80 points, they would be 1st line centers (see: Datsyuk, Zetterberg).

Lol, I thought Paul Holmgren wasn't their GM anymore?
Makings moves for the sake of making moves. They can't keep still...ever.....

So some pretty substantial news in the Michigan sporting world. Michigan Entertainment Sports is going to be launched this fall on various cable providers in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio. They have signed a 3 year deal with the Grand Rapids Griffins and plan to pickup games from smaller college schools, not in the Big Ten, minor and junior level teams along with High School sports across the state.

Should be interesting to see what will become of this station, but good news for Wings and Griffins fans. They are literally brand new, as they don't have anything on their site, http://mes-tv.com/
However they have another blog like site, here http://mymes.us/
Here is a quick bio of them on LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/company/michigan-entertainment-sports
