Confirmed with Link: Mike Green to Detroit 3 years/6m per

[Laser Rayzor]

I like this deal, now who to pair him with? I'd like to see him and DD be a combo I think they'd compliment each other nicely.

 

[Vladdy84]

Kronwall-Smith
DD-Green
Big-E/Quincey - XO/Marchenko

 

[WingedWheel1987]

Now trade Quincey and i will call this off season a complete success.

 

[TheWestWing]

This is a great signing. That term, baby. That term.

I don't care if he can't play defense. Most of our defensemen can only play defense.

We now have 3 of the bottom 20 D who 'led' in minus turnovers.

Don't care about the shiny offensive numbers - we just got worse.

 

[Roy S]

He's a legit top 4 right handed D. Not sure if he'll play with Kronwall or not as he's not really a top pairing guy. It could allow them to try Dekeyser with Kronwall.

I'd like a top 4 of Kronwall, Dekeyser, Smith and Green in some combo. E and Quincey on the bottom pairing.

Just get rid of Big E.

 

[Hckytwn]

Awesome signing... shortish term at a reasonable price. Hopefully they can move Kindl or Ericsson, create a little room for March or XO.

#RedWings still kicking tires, Mike Green may not be only move today.

 

[Run the Jewels]

Great job addressing the biggest team need - by far. Green will do very well on a pairing with DeKeyser.

 

[InjuredChoker]

holy crap, kenny made a great UFA signing.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Dekeyser, Kronwall, and Green are all top 4 defensemen. Maybe Smith or Ouellet fill out the rest. Just gotta get rid of Kindl, Quincey, and Ericsson at some point.

 

[The Geelee]

Either Ericsson or Quincey have to be moved. No room for both of them.

It's not like we could get a lot worse at moving the puck. But now we have a lethal PP weapon. Net positive for me.

Plus, this signing forces Holland to make a trade, which is probably a net positive for the organization as a whole.

Just get rid of Big E.

DD-Green seems like the way to go to me too.

 

[WingedWheel1987]

I feel like Belle Tire is missing out on a great marketing/promotional tie in with all these tires being kicked.

Shatty too please!

 

[Flowah]

Does this mean we have to be less angry at Holland? I don't think this forum knows how to do that.

I give him a pass for the year now. Seriously.

I don't even care if he brings back Cleary at this point. And it's so easy to make room if he really wants to. Waive/trade Kindl/Smith/Quincey. It doesn't really matter who.

This move is so good. I wonder where he slots in? 2nd pair? 1st pair? If we can move E off the top pair it makes him better and makes the whole team so much better.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Not a Green-fan but at 3 years I like the signing. As a #4-5+PP guy he should make us better.

Kronner-E
DD-Green
Quincey-Smith
XO/Marchy

Looks good.

 

[Konnan511]

Nows the time to see if we can get anything for Kindl or Big E and possibly need to trade Marchy or XO unfortunately as I like them, but no room for both.

 

[Redwingsfan]

K. So who gets moved? Quincey or Big E?

I'm guessing they move one of them with prospects for a forward?

If he somehow finds a way to get Ericsson off this team, I'll love Holland again.


Love this deal. Love the $. Love the term. Perfect deal. Good job, Holland

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

Shatty too please!

Doubt we get Shattenkirk now.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Holland sign Semin to fill Franzen's slot.

edit: Based on buying out Weiss and this move I have to give Holland a passing grade for this offseason. I know that one player usually does not make or break a team, but the godawful transition game from our D has been holding us back for way, way too long. Having Green instantly makes this team much, much better. And with the 3 year deal he is still playing for his next contract. I think we see a return to 50-70 point Green while he is here.

 

[sepster]

I can handle this. Now dump Kindl

On the one hand, scared. On the other hand, is Kenny feeling it right now? Let it ride?

C'mon, Kenneh! Magic time!

the fact that Kronwall is one of those 3 shows how silly that stat of yours is

know who else is on that list?

ALL THREE NORRIS FINALISTS

 

[XO]

Amazing, will make our PP alot better
