Jul 17, 2012 2:25 AM EST

With a new three-year contract in hand, Mike Green is eager to get back to being one of the NHL's elite defensemen.

Despite a pair of injury-plagued seasons, the Capitals re-signed Green to a three-year contract worth $18.25M Monday. He'll make $6M in each of the next two seasons and $6.25M in 2014-15.

The deal came just a couple of days after Green had turned down the team's qualifying offer.
