Metropolitan Division Weekly Roundup: Hockey’s Back!

I know last week we covered buyers and sellers, but Mike Green to the Capitals is gaining some steam. Between Alex Ovechkin talking to Green at the All-Star Game, and his comments after that he would love to have him back, it does seem like a good fit. The Caps could use some help on the blue line, but the toughest thing is going to be the salary. Green is in the last year of his contract that pays him $6 million per season. Washington has just $1.9 million in deadline space, so they are going to have to sweeten the pot for a retained salary transaction or give a piece back in return to get some salary off the books.
