listen, I feel bad for the guy. We'll do you a solid and give him a place to play. Because the NHL won't just allow you to give him to us, we'll make it look good *wink* and give you a 5th rounder, but you're gonna have to retain a couple mil of his salary.

The media destroyed mike green..when he was killing it and his plus/minus was even through the roof it was never good enough...always portrayed as an inconscient defensive player when the caps were in a crazy upswing..he needs out of there

Still can't believe Orpik is going to receive 27 million over the next 5 years.

Where the (frank) has Brian MacLellan been these last few years?

Just play Green as a wing and have him play the point on the powerplay. Problem solved.

True, but Green is making over 6 for the year an is injury prone.

Even though the contracts for Nisk and Orpik were insane, one cant really argue that the Caps improved their backline.

Orpik prob has another good 2 years or so in him of above-average play. Beyond that, all bets are off.

Nisk is the wildcard. If he can replicate his last season with the Pens, while playing against better opposition since he's now a #2/3, the Caps should be pretty good next year.

Orpik's real value right now should've not been higher than $3M/per. Great character and good skating though.

Green>>>>>Lecavalier

Green's a player. Vinny's terrible and he's payed handsomely to be terrible til he's 37
