No, they rescinded it. DL was trying to free up money to resign Lucic. Since Lucic went to EDM, he kept Greene.
But I'm sure if DL gives Greene a Starbuck's gift card with an attaboy..everything will be fine.

Poked the bear!!!!!
He has no skills anymore really. He can skate I guess, that's about it. Bad defensively and brings nothing offensively. I guess as "depth" for 1.4M it's whatever but he makes your team worse when he's on the ice.

Nice avatar...
DL made a big announcement that the team needed to reinvent.. hopefully he has more in store....

"Reinvent" means no more mortgaging the future for right now because right now has sailed on by.

I 100% disagree and hope Scheen signs somewhere in our division as he is an awful player.

My God stop your banter and *****ing. What did you expect ? Lucic? Eriksson? Okposo? Stop, just stop already. DL did what he had to do. You got FA in TT & TP to think of. Then in a couple of years you have DD to pay as well. The only bad signing in my eyes so far is Gaborik. DL should have let this guy go after the cup. Thats all he was a rental. Brown deserved the $ he got for what he accomplished in LA. I believe he will find his footing back. especially after taking the C away from him. 2 cups in this day and age of hockey is amazing. There are 30 teams to compete with, not 6. So people stop playing GM here, enjoy hockey when it comes in Oct, and cheer on our Kings to win another cup for us.

I guess the Kings loved that one :
Decent depth guy. 3rd pair or 7th guy. He was outplayed by rookie Greg Pateryn here in Montreal

Guess will see what he does in a system that actually focuses on D, maybe he will surprise.

Luke Schenn achieved higher levels of stupid, levels that far surpassed Randy Jones.

He's not good at anything anymore. He'll pull off 1-2 Bobby Orr moves a season that will leave you going WTF, but most of the time he's below average at everything.

He's not a bad 3rd pairing guy, won't put up many points anymore but he wasn't that bad with Montreal when playing on the third pair.

I actually proposed a minor deal last summer with Tom Gilbert going to LA. 1.4M is a much more appropriate salary.
As a Sens fan, I was often surprised by his effectiveness. There was the reputation that preceded him, but his play was never that bad.
I think he'll fit in well with Sutter's system- and he can move far better than Schenn ever could.
But still shouldn't be more than a bottom pairing guy.
