Was wondering what it would take. Seems like GMGM is on the hotseat and with the way the team has been playing lately, I think they could really use a shake-up. Just don't see Ovechkin or Backstrom being moved, and Carlson and Alzner are too young to give up just to change up the roster.
Was wondering if Goligoski would be a good base, and what we'd have to add to snag Green.
Benn, Eriksson, and Lehtonen are obviously off the table, and we won't be moving Oleksiak anytime soon either.
Was thinking something like Goligoski + Chiasson/Ritchie/Stransky + 2nd for Green.

Goligoski + 2013 2nd for Green. I wouldn't up Chiasson.

No it wouldn't. Caps don't need mid-prospects or 2nd round picks. Caps don't really need Goligoski, either. If the Caps go full-on rebuild, then we may move Green for futures. But it would be quality futures, like 1st round picks and/or prospects like Oleksiak. Not B prospects and 2nd rounders.

Yes they are. Guys like Kuznetsov, Strome, Scheifele, etc are A prospects. Ritchie/Chiasson/Stransky are not on the same tier.
Beyond that, the Caps are loaded with winger prospects. Kuznetsov, Forsberg, Wilson, Barber, Galiev, Stephenson, etc.
I would put Ritchie right up there with Sheifele, but you're right, the other 2 would be considered B level. That being said, both Chaisson, and Stransky have shown a lot of potential to play beyond their level description.
I don't know why Washington would do this. Golgoski is a significant downgrade from Green (and only 1.5 million less of a cap hit) and the prospects being offered are decent but not outstanding.

The only thing that entices me is that the Caps finally get a left shooting PPQB.

I'd add Eakin and Dillon to that list too.
But I have to say that if a Goose+ or Goose++ doesn't entice them, then that's it. We don't have anything else that they want. As someone pointed out, they have a plethora of prospects at wing and arguably much better than ours.
He hasn't been that since 09-10. But I think Washington will give him a chance to get back there, now that he's healthy.
7 pts in 11 games I think...not too bad. Imagine what those numbers look like once the caps get better in the new system and improve the power play. No where to go but up right?
Besides hes been above average on defense. Caps need more players like him not less.
I think Green stays in a Cap uniform and they build around him Carlson and Alzner
Further that Big D went and sent James Neal and Niskanen for Goligoski to be their go to guy I doubt he is going anywhere either. All due respect for Robidas who has been very effective for the stars, he is 35 years old now.
The deal I couldn't understand was the Grossmann deal. I guess it was a salary dump in a similar manner to the Goligoski deal ?
anyway Green has the potential to return to monster status. I think washington wants to keep him around in case that happens again.
The problem with giving up a lot is his health. I don't know if he's healthy, he's pretty awesome when he is though.
We need a real number one defensemen, and giving up Goligoski is perfectly fine with that.
Goligoski + Alex Chiasson + Devin Shore (Dallas 2nd rounder from 2012) + Tom Wandell + 2nd 2014 + 3rd 2013 for Mike Green + Jay Beagle.
Would also be willing to take on one of Washingtons bad contracts.
So a top 4 defensemen, one of Dallas' top prospects, one of Dallas' "B" center prospects, a 4th lier, and two draft picks for a top 2 defensemen, a 4th liner and possibly a bad contract. I'm not saying that's a lot but this is what I would pay for Green that looks to be healthy but still has the possibility of injury again.
That's more than Dallas gave for Brad Richards (A top 6 forward, a top young goalie a 4th liner for a number one center and a medicore backup).

Yes in reality Goligoski is more of a "shoot it or pass it into the others teams players kind of guy on the powerplay.
Although at times this has not been the case. Last season and the season before. He's only 1 1/2 years removed from a 14 goal 46 point season.
Im not a fan of Green myself, but I could see a use for him on our offense-lacking blueline. I just think Washington would want a lot for him and I dont think hes worth it.

We are not interested in quantity for quality. We need quality, just younger. Every trade for Gren must begin with (for some reason unsettled) top-4 RD then 1st rounder or quality center prospect. Not much interest in trading him.

I'm always weary about trading first rounders because you never know how bad you'll fail. Would you rather have Goligoski and a 2014 1st for Green than the package I put together?
I'd do Goligoski and a 1st if the 1st was conditional. If Dallas finishes 1-14, it becomes a 2014 1st rounder that you get as long as Dallas does not finish in the bottom 5, if they do then Washington gets the 2015 first rounder.

And that's why I think a trade wouldn't work. Goligoski is the only piece we can realistically give away in terms of quality and add to that piece. He's only 3 months older than Green and while I agree he has been snake-bit since 2010-11, that could be a result of having to play 1/2D minutes and he doesn't have the size for that. He is a good 3D should he find his offensive spark. Maybe a change of scene to an offensive-minded unit in WSH where "Carlzner" can handle the #1D and #2D positions and he is paired with a shutdown guy like Hamrlik, is the panacea for his ills.
I perfectly understand your not wanting to trade Green, however.
