There's no way on God's green earth that you could call Mike Green above average defensively. Not this season anyway.
I already said Lidstrom probably should have won, he and Chara are 1a and 1b.
It's pretty funny that you think Mike Green is a better defenseman than Chara or Lidstrom.
Lidstrom and Chara were 1a and 1b, Green's not even in the same ballpark.
The Norris is not "defenseman with the most points". It's best defenseman.
Max Ramirez - Great career line in the minors - .311/.414/.505. Hits lefties and righties both very well ( .315/.435/.512 vs. LHP, .310/.406/.502 vs. RHP). Can be the backup C in a pinch and gives me some RH pop off the bench.
Who's going to want Saito, a 39 y/o whose elbow is basically hanging by a thread and if he meets his incentives would be quite the expensive option?
If you still think you can trade him, what can you expect to get for him?
