Mind_Taker posted:Why are you so eager to get rid of Green? He drives possession and is really good on the PP. He makes a few brain-farts and he is injury prone, but he's still good and he only has one year left on his deal. If you're going to get rid of him then I'd do it at the trade deadline to a contender instead of a rebuilding team that isn't really going to part with good prospects or picks. Because it's the only way I see them retaining a great 2C in Grabovski(who is arguably more important than Green now). I never thought of dumping Brouwer+Laich(would have to be both) because I see that as harder to accomplish and would net very little in return. Greens almost already out the door and can get you something back.

Convicted sex offender Claude Giroux won't be allowed into the United States next season e: I can only hope the excuse is "I'm sorry, I thought he was the stripper!"

Greens almost already out the door and can get you something back. Brouwer could fetch something, he had 25 goals last season and 19 in the lockout shortened season (just don't look at the fancy stats!) I just don't see why so many Caps fans are so eager to get rid of Green, he's either their best or second best D even after signing Niskanen. He is excellent on the power play and drives the play at even strength. Strong coaching (which Green hasn't had in a long time) could also help fix the mistakes he tends to make. Why get rid of the guy when you won't fetch a good return? That's why I think it makes more sense to wait to the trade deadline if you're going to deal him at all.

The funniest part of that whole Giroux thing is that he got arrested at 9pm. Learn to hold your liquor, son.

That's hilarious. Dude apparently showed up at some cross-sport competition completely gunned at a local rink a couple weeks ago. Doesn't sound like he's stopped drinking since coming home

@mirtle Cody Franson won't sign qualifying offer, which was for $2-million. He'll get a raise into at least $2.5-million range, if they keep him. bleeeeeeeeeeeech

mcvey posted:Kinda bad-pretty good defensemen are priced at $5m~/yr in free agency this year, especially with the cap going up. Every year we're surprised that X defenseman got overpaid but that's what they're worth on new contracts now and it's increasing every year. Alternatively, you can just go after actually good defensemen for $3-4mil. I'm still baffled by the deal Ehrhoff got. e: laffo giroux fancy stats fucked around with this message at 15:29 on Jul 2, 2014 |

It's not a problem until he hides that he drinks, that's like alcoholism 101. When he's sneaking those little airplane bottles into the fingers of his hockey gloves so he can take a shot during a game it might be time for an intervention.
