Proposal: Mike Green to Tampa Bay

[bov]

I would imagine a conditional pick being involved, perhaps a 1st this year if the Lightning make the playoffs that becomes a 2018 1st if they don't... plus whatever else?

here is the rule you must follow if you want Green



MIke Green with 50% salary retained is worth a 1st AND a good prospect

the very second a cap dump comes back, the price goes UP not down

garrison is a cap dump, therefore the price goes up

not fair, not a problem,

Perhaps you should use that argument with a team in contention, not a team that was last in the eastern conference a week ago and very likely to select near the beginning of the draft.

This makes more sense.

Green and a fourth for garrison and a second is kind of an insult though. It's fine, I'd rather keep Green than take on Callahan for peanuts. No deal between us, seems to be fine with most.

Yeah, I mean I understand not making that deal from a DET POV.

Like someone else said, it's very likely we're not going to be in the playoffs. We're not dealing for Mike Green at that price, just like you woudn't deal at the Garrison+2nd price.

Doesn't fit.

Ignore Hose, he's special. Green with retention should have near the same level of value as Shattenkirk. Not from us however, if it doesn't create cap space or bring in assets it just isn't a good fit right now, maybe in the offseason.

I know the Lightning are in a bit of a no-man's-land, and haven't made up their minds on buyer/seller, but I found this interesting (emphasis mine):

http://www.tsn.ca/surging-lightning-could-strike-before-deadline-1.679273

"In the meantime, Ryan Callahan's second hip surgery means he's out for the regular season, but his absence also has opened up an extra $5.8 million under the cap if Tampa Bay needs it. The only way I see that being the case is if the Lightning somehow find their unicorn: a legit, top-four defenseman who signed past this season."

Tampa needs both a defenseman and cap help. Detroit needs picks. How about:

To Tampa Bay: Mike Green
To Detroit: The cap dump of Tampa's choice, a 2nd rounder in 2017, and 1st and 3rd rounders in 2018

It's a steep price for the Lightning, but if they're gonna buy, it both adds a significant piece now, and (depending on the player chosen) frees up a lot of cap space for decisions this summer.

It might need some tinkering to even it out, but whaddya think?

Sure Callahan 1st in 2018 and 3rd in 2018 and 2nd in 2017 for Mike green done!

mike green at 50% is worth a 1st and a good prospect

that isnt outlandish or one sided at all

 

[HoseEmDown]

In what world are Green and Garrison even close to the same caliber of player?

I didn't say they were but Green would play on the 2nd pair like Garrison is currently. To upgrade from Garrison isn't going to cost a 1st + prospect + pick. We could almost get Duchene for Garrison + 1st + prospect + pick.

That's a hard no.

Detroit would be stupid to trade Green instead of re-signing him.
