MibJab 4 Report post Posted July 16, 2012 http://www.nhl.com/ice/blogpost.htm?id=10606 Thought? 5 mil is a tad high for his injury prone body, maybe he's looking for longer than 1 year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Ruff 47 Report post Posted July 16, 2012 Doesn't seem like anything significant besides he wants a deal longer than 1 year, he would certainly take a $5m per on however long it ends up being IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

atodaso 279 Report post Posted July 16, 2012 Hmmm, could we finally have a replacement for Rafalski on our hands? I say with all that cap space and nowhere to spend it, throw a 2-3 year $6m deal at Green. If we could land him, suddenly our D looks half-decent. And if we could get Semin as well...

Seraph 240 Report post Posted July 16, 2012 We would have to trade for his rights, and the dude hasn't played a full season for a while. Not worth the risk or the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atodaso 279 Report post Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) We would have to trade for his rights, and the dude hasn't played a full season for a while. Not worth the risk or the price. "By rejecting the offer Green becomes a restricted free agent." It seems to me that if he becomes RFA we can submit an offer. If the Caps low-balled him with a 1-yr $5m deal then they probably wouldn't match a 3-year $6m/year offer. Then again, you never know with these things. It's worth a shot, no?

Guest Johnz96 Report post Posted July 16, 2012 He refused $5mill, I'm not sure if he's worth half that, his stats were bloated by playing on a team that played a wide open run and gun style game, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

St. Michael (the Red Wing) 422 Report post Posted July 16, 2012 Doesn't really mean anything besides Green wanting a longer deal as mentioned. I'll also pass on making an offer to him too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Motown4013 350 Report post Posted July 16, 2012 Green would be risky for us given his style of play and being injury prone BUT id rather spend the money and get some help on the back end than sit around with a ton of cap space and Kindl hanging out back there. I am actually not surprised that Green rejected the offer. He was a norris finialist and even if he ISN'T worth the Caps offer, he knows that there are teams in the NHL right now that need a respectable defenseman. Both Myers and Suter got 12 million....Both HIGHLY overpaid contracts.....so maybe he wants to see whats out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I say with all that cap space and nowhere to spend it, throw a 2-3 year $6m deal at Green. If we could land him, suddenly our D looks half-decent. And if we could get Semin as well... $2M a year for Mike Green? That would be nice. How about a 6 year $6M deal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RedWingsDad Report post Posted July 16, 2012 Hmm, so this means in order to get Green the following would need to happen: 1. Green no longer wants to play for Washington and *isn't* just trying to get a longer term with them. 2. We would need to trade for his rights on the *chance* that he would sign with us. 3. He would actually sign with us. ... is that right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Him rejecting the qualifying offer was more a necessity for negotiations to continue more than him declaring his intention to accept offers from other teams.
