Trade/waive Greening

 

[StefanW]

I'm not sure what people expect the end result to be if we wave Greening. The most likely scenario is that he clears, because moving him would mean retaining salary and possibly taking a different player back if contract limits are an issue. He is far more likely to be wanted in a trade scenario than in a waver situation.

I expect him to be sent to an island in the middle of nowhere so we don't have to see him ever again.

That.....seems far more likely than him being claimed off of waivers.

 

[Johnny Hanson]

I like how everyone is pissed we didn't sign a high profile defenceman UFA last summer like its Walmart and you can just go buy talent as needed. If only it were that easy.

The one thing that is driving me nuts is our organization refusing to give up on colin greening. The guy flat out sucks at hockey. He is directly in the way of a couple prospects that deserve a chance over this plug. Waive him, trade him or bring him out behind the woodshed and shoot him.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Outside of his stupid penalty he took early on against Detroit last game he's been fine this year

I'm sure he'd be decent and could even be good if he played regularly: it's hard when you are playing every fourth or fifth game

I might be wrong but I believe he's played every game since macleans been fired. Either way, he's showing no signs of improvement. I'm not even expecting anything from him - he just plays with no urgency or intensity whatsoever.

It's like he's out there trying to a cerebral game (he is very smart so makes sense) but man. He needs to know his role. Big fast. Wreak havoc. He just refuses to do so. Too nice. To soft. Not an NHLer.

 

[Ouroboros]

...but he worked so hard to leave Newfoundland.

 

[Hammertyme]

Was at the Detroit game and one fan was really giving Howard the raspberries from sec 111. Well done.

He's a 4th liner getting paid like a second liner. That's the issue.

Well too bad for him then.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

He might be the only guy on the team who is overpaid

Every team has one or two bad contract and really, Greening is overpaid by one million; maybe one and half

He's worth 900 k. He puts up next to zero points. Doesn't fight (doesn't matter but at least it's an element of the game) doesn't hit hard.
If you watch greening on tv. He will go at a defender in the corner for a hit. And then the camera pans out because the puck moves to center ice. And you can't even hear greening hit the defender. He literally slows down to an almost stand still and shoves players. It's pathetic.

 

[Benjamin]

Would def try MPS out

 

[bacon25]

Not sure why Edmonton would trade one of their better C's in Arcobello for a regressing Roy, I guess it is all part of their tank plan.

 

[MainDotC]

Greening trade value just went up 50%.

 

[Philadelphia Collins]

Would def try MPS out

Making $1.2mil this year, RFA next year. In a perfect world they waive Greening and claim MPS. Couldn't hurt to see if he can put it together here. Don't think he really had a good chance in St. Louis

Melnyk is literally the cheapest owner in the NHL, im all for it, we have space after the injuries to Boro, Neil, and Smith. We won't though

For sure. The literal only thing Greening still has going for him, speed, is something MPS brings as well. Plus the chance to maybe grow into something more.


You old mustard tiger, you.

 

[StefanW]

I'd take MPS in a heartbeat, but I think one of the teams below us will actually claim him first.

You actually think there is an owner in the league who would bury greening's contract just so they can grab mps?....

 

[Alf Silfversson]

If I was a rich owner I sure would.

Not saying Melnyk won't based on money but this move has better implications for the future of the team. MPS has MUCH higher upside than Greening; why not give it a shot?

 

[fringie]

I am supporting us giving MPS a long look, maybe can even trade something for him. It would turn out great, with limited downside.
