Confirmed Trade: [DET/EDM] Mike Green (50% retained) for Kyle Brodziak + cond. 2020 4th round pick

[Czechboy]

He's been playing over 20 minutes recently:

His 11 points is 4th for our D... behind Nurse, Klef and Bear.

I like the trade but think something else needs to happen to get him under cap... we still need a forward to help Connor. Curious what happens tomorrow. Wonder if Green can play wing?

 

[Ctrain2k]

What’s his skating looking like these days?

 

[TimIsRetired]

Relax. The vet will get the puck to the right guys on the PP. If that's not what he is there for....well then, I don't know.

brandon sutter?

If you took back Russel maybe

 

[vancityluongo]

Decent deal for Edmonton. Green will help the PP, and on an otherwise young-ish defense would be a good mentor for Evan Bouchard.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

can never have too many vet defensemen going into the playoffs

 

[DFC]

Yzerman loves the mid rounders other teams toss away. He'll turn this one into a 65 point shut down 2C, probably.

 

[cobrakaineverdies]

Seems like a good pickup for Edm, but then again I haven't really seen much of Green the last cpl years.. Jeeze, looking at his career stats it feels like that 30 goal season wasnt that long ago, guess I'm getting old

 

[David71]

If you took back Russel maybe

how much is he making. sure.

 

[lilidk]

I expect any kind of Athanasiou return will also be to not add anybody to the roster.

This opens the door for Seider to get his 9 game look. Athanasiou's move will open 9 games for Veleno. Or just a Svechnikov or Rasmussen call-up.

Are you trying to calm yourself before go to bed,

Mike Green takes Nurse off the PP which is a win

Green deployed as a bottom pair PP specialist on the Oilers will be good for him

 

[sandhu111]

Was on pace for a 40-50pt season last year and was averaging over 30pts the 3 before that.
Might have some game left

Not a bad bottom pairing pp defensemen for around 2.6m

Wut.

 

[lilidk]

Oilers ,you like Mantha , can have him for second and we keep his pay

 

[clunk]

Good acquisition by the Oilers. Worth the small risk.

 

[thekernel]

Now that's a blockbuster

 

[McSuper]

Kyle Brodziak is LTIR "retired" - his career his done. Not sure why he was included.

Cap reason

 

[Volica]

Good little offence Dman.
Some of those underlying metrics jumped off the page for me. Like slot passes and zone exits, which he's actually quite good at.

It's important for Edmonton to really use him as intended though, he should be <18 minutes a night.

 

[Ishad]

Wasn’t expecting much, best of luck to both green and the Oilers.

 

[MBH]

Lmao, Red Wings fans were saying they could have gotten a 1st at last year's deadline

Two years ago, had Holland not foolishly waited until the deadline, he could have. But then Green slid into the boards and hurt his neck.

Oilers ,you like Mantha , can have him for second and we keep his pay

No

bottom pair pp? wouldn't he displacing nurse on pp1 while klef is out with his injured shoulder (if not beyond that)?

Maybe theres a Manning + pick for Tyler Ennis about to happen ?

Anyway not sure what to think of the deal... of course Bear or Larsson won't sit so is Benning gonna sit ? I like Benning as the 6th defenseman...

Maybe they wanna dress 7 defenseman ? As our fourth line is barely playing.

im assuming a healthy roster here but sure
