Green Staying in DC
After weeks of nervous waiting, the news is out that the Washington Capitals have come to terms with Mike Green on a new contract that will keep him in DC for the next 4 years.
The deal pays Green $5.25 million a year for a cool 21 mil. Green was able to capitalize on a terrific final year of his entry-level deal that saw him lead all NHL defenseman with 18 goals and put up 56 points.
Green has emerged as the top defenseman for the Caps, manning the powerplay and starting up the rush, even carrying the puck all the way into the zone before unleashing a wicked slapshot. With 4 more years in the district we can expect many more moments of Green-induced fan frenzy in the Phone Booth.
Now with all this money, I wonder if he'll be springing for a new pad anytime soon?
