No it's not. I'm with RKL on this one. I thought greening was done. But when put wih semi talent he plays his role and isn't a liability. He was real good against jets and leafs. Better than Michalek. He's cheaper. Short and long term. And we know he's a bottom six and we know Maclean has no problems scratching him. He has a huge problem scratching Michalek. Which means less players get a shot. With greening we can rotate him in and out and get puempel and prince up here to get some reps. (I said get some reps. Please don't anyone quote this and tell me "prince and puempel aren't ready for full time NHL duty").
Except Michalek is better at scoring, passing, PK, PP and ES. Better at everything but skating in a skills competition and getting hits in fantasy stats.
I think Greening has been decent when he gets a chance to play this year too. And I get that Michalek is not consistent at scoring and gas been disappointing since his all-star season. And I understand that many didn't want him resigned. I probably would not have resigned him.
All of that said... Michalek is a far, far better player then Greening. Just far better. Better on a scoring line, better on a checking line. Better at everything important. And not by a little bit.
