[chances14]

amazing that holland was able to get him for only three years.

 

[Sami]

Yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

 

[last_sd]

I guess we can't make fun of Holland's Tire kicking any more?

 

[Hammettf2b]

Love the term. Good job Kenny!!!

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

This is a great signing. That term, baby. That term.

I don't care if he can't play defense. Most of our defensemen can only play defense.

 

[Electric Thunder]

So this is what it's like to have a good FAF-Day!!!!

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

3 years is ****ing stellar.

 

[Eastopia]

Wow, and here I was thinking I probably didn't want Green anyway because I was afraid I would hate the contract. I don't. This is great!

 

[Shoalzie]

Prefecto!

 

[KJoe88]

LOL I find this hilarious.

Color me impressed!

 

[Bench]

Can't believe Green came so cheap in term.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

It ain't baaaad B)

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

I talked soooooooooo much ****. I deserve to be hit.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Does this mean we have to be less angry at Holland? I don't think this forum knows how to do that.

 

[TeemuS]

good news for end of day!

Kenny can actually still do some amazing job

 

[CorbeauNoir]

Listening to sports radio (not Detroit) as this news came in and they're flabbergasted that the Wings are paying this much for what they call a third-pairing guy :x

 

[Shaman464]

Okay, I can approve of this.

 

[hyduK]

Full NTC apparently. Meh

God that's a crazy amount for Green. The 3 years helps a ton but people think that Smith, Quincey, etc, make boneheaded plays. Anyone watch Green in the playoffs.

3rd pairing guy. 5th in avg ice time for Washington D last year.

 

[ricky0034]

yay definitely wasn't expecting that

probably only happened because Green was willing to take such a reasonable term

definitely feeling much better about the Weiss buyout now

 

[Vladdy84]

K. So who gets moved? Quincey or Big E?

I'm guessing they move one of them with prospects for a forward?

Depends. How to we incorporate one of the kids now? Someone has to be traded.

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

Waive Kindl and\or trade Quincey for a pick, field a D group of Kronwall-Green, Smith-Dekeyser, Marchenko-Ericsson. Marchenko and Ouelette rotate in and out of last spot.

Slotting green into the top-4 moves everyone down where they belong.

Washington also had 3 defenseman who would've been top-pair on our team.

edit: Looking at their roster, any one of their defenseman would've automatically slotted into our top-4. So there is that. In Detroit Green will be playing behind a forward group that is one of the most defensively responsible in the NHL. Rafalski wasn't that sharp on defense either.

 

[WingsInRed]

Well I'd like to think our transition/breakout game just improved by about 100%.

 

[Avery Rule]

Full NTC.... oh well not like Kenny ever trades players :p just buys em out lol.

Hope Green can prove some people wrong.
