Let Mike get healthy this summer. Let’s see how he is in training camp. He was a Norris finalist twice before this past year. He is simply too talented to simply give up on him. If the right offer comes along, then fine. However, that is the case for every player including Ovie! On August 9, 1988, we all learned that there is no such thing as an untradable player (Gretzky). If the deal of the century comes along, then trade. However, he is too good a player to throw away.

Trade for who? Kris Beech? Makes little sense except in the context of what the Caps might get. . . unless you’re just looking for a salary dump. I would think long and hard about what’s lost and what’s gained before trading him, and I’d set the bar pretty high. Otherwise I’d be happy to hang onto him.

I think Green did well in this post season. It’s hard to shine when your entire team gives up after Game 2.

Blocking a shot with your head is not the brightest move, but it shows heart and that you care and want to win. Something that does not show up in stats. On the flip side of the trade Green debate, is that trading him in no way means that they would get a defenseman in return or that Orlov would make the team next season or that they would resign Hannan or that Poti recovers. Keeping Green makes it less likely that Sloan, who is under contract for next year, is in the top 6 on d.
