Ok, sickening thought of the day: 3/1/2018 The Caps negotiate with Carlson but can't come to terms, so he walks and their backup plan is, non other than Gang Green!!! :wackysmile: "Winning" :poop:

Well if he played like he did Detroit and got him for about the same or not less it’s be deal. . .

Well, if you want to talk about replacements for Carlson, in this year's UFA class there are only two -- and by replacements, I mean legitimate, experienced RH shooting defensemen. There is a reason why RH defensemen are a red-hot commodity, and it will probably drive Carlson's price beyond what the Caps can afford.
One of the two is the aforementioned Mike Green. The other? Luke Schenn, a totally different player from Carlson. NO offense, lots of hits, pretty good blocks, 28 years old, same as Carlson. Likely won't get as much money as Carlson because of the lack of offense.
If Schenn could be gotten on the market for, say, a million dollars less than Carlson, do you make him a UFA focus and forget about Carlson?
Just as a further note, Pittsburgh, Philly, and NJD all lost in regulation tonight. Another good night for the Caps, and the regular season is now 80% over. It's going to be difficult for the Caps to miss the playoffs unless they collapse completely.

Great call on Schenn, but I doubt there’s any chance they’d get him let alone to replace Carlson. It’s clear that they don’t want “Defenseman”, they want 4th Foward/Extra Attacker’s woth out pulling the goalie,
This one of the reasons I said Green was a better Defenseman than Carlson. The Wings 5-5 system on the offensive zon has both D in the correct position above the slots, making short passes to forwards, and shooting when there’s a screen or a designed play, The pinching crap that our system and/or Carlson does wouldn’t be tolerated. However Green has been executing this quite well w/o all the pinching crap showing he has improved to Dman with a shot of a forward.
