Mike Green Got Hit and Never Returned

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

As long as he's cleared to play by the deadline and can be traded, I don't really care. Missing a couple of games with a minor injury is almost a good thing to keep him from getting a bigger one.

Agreed HSJ said out tonight and probably tomorrow as well, Maybe a game time decision tomorrow night.

I never for a second believed Custance had legitimate info on the injury. Why would they tell him? A stinger, lol.

 

[theYman]

Dmen get hit the most? Never would have thunk it

Except for Lidstrom, lol.

You can’t be out a game or 2 with a stinger?

It's rare. Stingers are usually last a few minutes to an hour.

Green skated today. But he's still out.
Heck of a stinger.

Orrrrrr

Tampa has a pretty good package put together and theyre close in finalizing the deal so theyre using that stinger as an excuse to not play tonight? I read on twitter (Khan I think) that him not playing tonightwont impact his trade value because he was skating fine today at the pregame skate

 

[ShelbyZ]

Hopefully it's nothing too major. After seeing what guys like Kempny and Holden returned the past couple of days, it would be nuts if Green doesn't return a good package of some sort at this point.

I'm not going to speculate on the specifics of Green but ill add that It's not unheard of for a deep tissue bruise to affect an individual for weeks. I'm not worried about it at this point in time.

Only thing I worry about is a shoulder injury. he's had a few of those. And it looked like that hit might have impacted a shoulder.

Yeah I agree, Ive just read on twitter he looks fine and everything and that its notthing to worry about. Hes likely fine and I bet a team like Tampa is saying let him rest it because theyre close to a deal. He did definitely hurt that shoulder though, you could tell when he was skating off

 

[Redder Winger]

According to Trevor Thompson of FSD, Green would be playing if he could. Blashill told Thompson that scouts are there to see Green and, in particular, they want to see how he's playing and if he's hurt.

Can he still be traded if he can't pass a physical? I think we can because I thought we traded for Bertuzzi when he was on IR?

Why would he need to pass a physical? He has a sore neck it's not like he's on IR or any thing. The answer is yes he can still be deal as long as the acquiring GM know's of his situation and is comfortable with it.

 

[theYman]

So is he in for today against the Rags? They said they want him to play before Monday?

 

[Dotter]

Unfortunately this injury is going to decrease his trade value.

Have no clue yet, Obviously he's a game time decision he wants to play they said but his neck is bothering him pretty bad.

It's a sore neck, Not sure how that hurts his value he might miss a few in the regular season. But should be fine come playoff time.

Because the trades aren't only about the playoffs, they're about the end of the regular season too.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Because the trades aren't only about the playoffs, they're about the end of the regular season too.

The three teams most commonly linked to Green are all pretty much playoff locks. Tampa, Vegas and Washington are big time contenders that are making moves for April not March in my opinion.

I am very concerned about what the injury might do to his value though.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Because the trades aren't only about the playoffs, they're about the end of the regular season too.

Yeah but seeing that the teams he would more then likely accept a trade to Tampa, Washington or Vegas are going to make the playoffs. Having Green in the lineup shouldn't matter those teams want him for the playoffs not the regular season.

 

[theYman]

So he's not playing tonight either I take it.

Nope not playing tonight, This is getting a ridiculous here.

 

[Oddbob]

It is clearly the Wings being smart and protecting their asset from getting hurt before a trade happens. I also wonder, if when a potential deal is close, if the acquiring team, ever asks the other team to sit that player until traded so they don't get hurt.
