In Red Wings Land

Mike Green weighing offers from Detroit Red Wings | MLive

If Green doesn’t re-sign, the Red Wings could look to free agency. They’re interested in John Carlson, who is by far the top defenseman expected to hit the market. He’s 28, shoots right and collected 15 goals and 53 assists for the Washington Capitals. But it’s hard to imagine he would go from a Stanley Cup champion to a team that hasn’t made the playoffs the past two seasons.

No thanks.

He’s a good player and would absolutely make the Red Wings a better hockey team, but he’s likely going to get a 7-year-deal for way too much money.
