D Mike Green is scheduled to become a restricted free agent on July 1 and he made no bones about his desire to remain in Washington for next season and beyond. "Absolutely, I love it here," Green said. "This is a great organization, a great city and I believe that we're going to win a Cup here and I want to be a part of it." Green earned $5 million this season in the final year of a four-year contract.
