I've been busy getting boxed in by something that starts to feel like quarantine for the Coronavirus these last days. Couldn't really pay that much attention to hockey.I figured everyone here would know what we got and gave up. It is the Oiler forum after all.
Are you kidding? It’s Mike f***in Green, he ran Ovechkin’s power play.The worst trade was the Green one. I don't know how much he has left in the tank and IMO is not an upgrade on Bear on PP1 now, and definitely not going to start over Klef in a few weeks.
Time changes things it's been 5 years since he was playing for Washington, starting in 13/14 John Carlson started getting better production than him on the PP per minute played and began to eat into his PP minutes. In Green's last 2 years in Detroit the PP QB has been more of a communal role shared by a grab bag of D seems like 2 of the one's at the forefront taking minutes off of Green are Dennis Cholowski and Filip Hronek, both seem to be doing that role better than him.Are you kidding?

Thats news to me. I thought holland had said no one asked about him.
There is something to be said about Detroit's PP. They've been really bad for a while now, last decent season for that PP was 15/16 (last season with Datsyuk). Since then they're bottom 5 in the league in PP% and PP GF/GP.Time changes things it's been 5 years since he was playing for Washington, starting in 13/14 John Carlson started getting better production than him on the PP per minute played and began to eat into his PP minutes.

I looked around at some old (now retired) D to see if it is common for formerly dominant PP d-men to fall off in their early 30's and in the vast majority of cases they were still producing at a good clip into their mid-30's, not sure why Green's decline began earlier than the norm.
because Carlson is one of the best in the league, and Detroit is in development mode?Time changes things it's been 5 years since he was playing for Washington, starting in 13/14 John Carlson started getting better production than him on the PP per minute played and began to eat into his PP minutes.

what's the rush? trade them in the summer. you need depth for the playoffs.4/5 - Love the trades, but I would also have moved out Jesse, Benning and Chiasson to recover some of the picks we lost and clear cap for the summer.
