Everybody Hates Raymond Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capitals-insider/post/mike-green-declines-caps-qualifying-offer/2012/07/15/gJQAtlvCnW_blog.html?wprss=rss_capitals-insider Posted at 07:23 PM ET, 07/15/2012 Mike Green declines Washington Capitals’ qualifying offer By Katie Carrera Defenseman Mike Green declined the Capitals’ qualifying offer of a one-year contract worth $5 million. He had until 5 p.m. Sunday to accept the deal, as was the case with all restricted free agents considering qualifying offers. Both sides can continue to negotiate a new contract despite the deadline, and that’s expected to happen in this case. On Saturday, General Manager George McPhee described the expiration date on qualifying offers as an “artificial deadline.” While McPhee didn’t share any insight into the negotiations, he expressed optimism when questioned about re-signing Green and fellow restricted free-agent defenseman John Carlson. “When you’re sort of negotiating in good faith and trying to get it done — I don’t think anybody’s trying to squeeze anybody on the other side — and so in some ways it’s an artificial deadline,” McPhee said when asked Saturday how the deadline alters negotiations. “I think we’ve had healthy discussions with both players, and there are deals to be made there. So I don’t expect tomorrow to be a big day with respect to signing these players. I think that’s something we’ll get done sooner than later and they’ll be deals that we can live with and they can live with.” At this time it’s unclear whether Carlson accepted his qualifying offer of one-year, $826,875 but it’s believed he will seek a longer-term contract.
