Mike Green

TSN reports Washington has signed defenceman Mike Green to a four-year contract at $5.25 million per. Nice raise: he was making an entery-level $850,000.

The Capitals and Cristobal Huet are far apart, however. He's said to be demanding $5 million per. Ridiculous. Bob Gainey  was wise to salvage something for him at the trade deadline.

Plan B is alive!

Brian Rolston will not sign with Tampa Bay ... at least not right away. He's going to test free agency.

Anaheim is close to a deal with Corey Perry. He'll get Ryan Getzlaf money: $5.325 million.

Potential UFA Bryce Salvador – acquired from St. Louis for Cam Janssen by New Jersey at the trade deadline for – stays with the Devils. Four years, $2.9 million per.

One goal, 10 assists, 54 PiM and plus-12. Averaged 19:47 in 64 games. Was making $1.5 million.

The signing foils the dream of a defence corps consisting of Salvador, Mike Commodore, Steve Montador and Sheldon Souray, who's a revolving door.
