2 Months Washington Capitals Mike Ribeiro reiterated after Thursday's practice that he wants to stay with the Washington Capitals on a long-term contract. "I think I've said that from the get-go. I don't want to move all the time," he said. "If I get traded before the end of this year and then move again at the beginning of the next year - So we'll see. It's part of the business and we'll see where that goes." According to Renaud Lavoie of RDS, Ribeiro turned down a three-year, $14 million offer on Wednesday night. He is seeking a four- or five-year deal and could be dealt prior to the trade deadline next week. | 2 Months Washington Capitals Mike Ribeiro rejected a three-year contract offer from the Capitals but he still wants to stay in Washington, according to RDS' Renaud Lavoie. Ribeiro told The Washington Times that he prefers a "long-term" contract, which to him means at least four years. The center, who has thrived (11 goals, 24 points) in his first year with the Capitals, is in the final season of a five-year, $25 million deal. Handing out a contract that could top that one -- at least in dollar value -- is a risky being that Ribeiro is also 33 years old. | 2 Months Washington Capitals Mike Ribeiro would like to sign a long-term contract to remain with the Washington Capitals, but that hasn't stopped his name from surfacing in trade rumors heading into the deadline next week. He can become an unrestricted free agent this summer and the Capitals aren't quite sure what to do with him yet. Ribeiro has been a great addition to Washington this season with a team-leading 34 points (10 goals, 24 assists) in 32 games. He has provided the club with some much-needed depth at center, but his price tag may be too high with expensive contracts of Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom and Mike Green already in the fold. Additionally, signing him to a four- or five-year deal that will carry him until he turns 37 or 38 years old may not be appealing either. | 2 Months Washington Capitals Mike Ribeiro scored a goal and added two assists for the Capitals in a 7-1 drubbing of the Panthers Thursday night.
