Green undoubtedly has the capability of playing in the top four over Franson, but I wouldn't discount our ability of making it work for the time Sekera is out. Franson does have experience in an elevated role in his time in Toronto. McLellan said he liked the combination of Nurse-Larsson in the Anaheim series in the absence of Klefbom and Sekera. Nurse and Benning themselves played elevated minutes at times during the regular season as well.
I don't think we're going to be put in a situation where we're going to have to tap into our limited future assets to fill in for a regular season injury.
Regardless, as I've said before. Little Caesar's arena is opening this year. Mike Green's not going anywhere unless they're shedding salary. If they are: have at it.
All the Little Caesars pizza in the world isn't getting them into the playoffs next year.
Even in trade proposals on this board, many Wings fans have said yes to EDM 1st for Green or Eberle for Green.
