Thank God - Mike Green has gone to the Oilers.

Dodged a bullet with that one.

Thank freaking GOD

Thank freaking GOD

Was there any truth to the rumour that Caps were considering him or was it just HF Boards speculation? I cannot imagine why Bmac would have wanted him.

EDM gave up a 4th for Green.

LMAO at Red Wings fans thinking they could pry AA from us.

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Glad for Green. Edmonton has the best ice in the League. Hope Green can turn things around there.

I was just going to post that. I feel relieved.

Delusional fans who get worked up over the TDL thinking garbage is gold.

Well we might have Mr Gone back if he was traded here. He still hasn't eaten crow for the Caps winning the cup.

Green and his wife (whose whole family lives here in DC) bought a nice house recently in DC area.

I have a weird/odd suspicion Green is signing a very low/team friendly deal to come back to DC in offseason. He loved it here - and his wife wants to be here.

How much has Green already made in his career? 40+? If so, I see him coming back cheap in offseason. It’s end of his career... here he wants to be long-term, and where his wife wants to be.

does anyone actually ever do this?

What if Green is not bad but it is in fact the Red Wings of Detroit who are bad

You're joking, right?

Green is bad. He is super fragile and he has no defensive game. Yes playing on a terrible team but his shooting percentage is 4.1% and his offence is a shadow of what it used to be.
It's also worth pointing out that the Oilers want him for their PP unit because Klefbom is out injured. So it's something of a forced trade for them.

We don't need a guy who is more known for his offence than his defence. Green would cost us way more goals than he would help us to score.

We will probably over spend today but im really interested to see what moves we make.

There is about $10 in cap space left. I think they are done.

Why would Bmac have MTL retain money if he didn’t want the space for another move

Could be to allow call-ups or to make one more trade.

 

[ArmadilloThumb]

Can't remember where I read it, but some reporter quoted a nameless NHL exec that said something to the effect of "You don't love your wife as much as the Ducks love Manson."

That very well may be true... but do they love him more than being 28th overall??

I wonder if GMBM has interest it may be a bit of a waiting game gamble... Wait long enough for ANA to be willing to make a deal and/or come down in price and/or other suitors make other deals and drop out of the competition (like Green now with EDM).

Or we could be done, or looking a different D or whatever....

 

[Melkor]

Bruh why on Earth would anyone want to trade their 1st for TJ Brodie? Stop it, please. The guy is left-handed by the way. What's the point? Alright, I'm joining the party. How about Carlson for Suter and a 1st? Since we apparently hate an actual right-handed defensemen.

This is one of my favorite hockey days of the year. Let’s hope for no Erat type trades

 

[Ridley Simon]

Not so, Amigo.

caps are carrying 23 players now. Drop one of Boyd/Leipsic/Siegenthaler, and they have like 1.5m. Add to it any body going out in a deal, and they’d have around 2.2m or so. Before retention....so close to 4.5m if 50% (Hi, Kreider).

just sayin

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Just heard Kreider wants 7 years... woof I hope the Rangers keep him

 

[Marshall]

Can anybody linkabrother to TSN's coverage?

 

[peterthegreat12]

I am guessing we see a Trevor Lewis, Nate Thompson, or Luke Glendening kinda of move.

Really wanted to see him driving that vespa back into Capital One.
