signed Red Wings sign D Mike Green (3-years, $18-million)

[Motown4013 350]

Apparently Kenny found his jewels!

Well done! Welcome Mike Green

[TheDetroitRedWings 286]

And the ironic thing is he was drafted with the pick we gave to Washington for Robert Lang. Full circle indeed! Welcome to the best organization in sports Mike!!

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

So what number does he take?

[ShereKhan 34]

So what number does he take?

69.

[Vladinator16 236]

So what number does he take?

90 should be available, it's worked out well for the last 2 FA signings we gave it to.

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

So what number does he take?

Hopefully any number available other than 90.

EDIT: beat to the punch.

I'm really surprised Green would accept shorter term. Good signing by Kenny. Hopefully Green stays healthy and this turns around some of the Wings UFA luck.

The icing on the cake for this deal would be ditching Kindl.

[BadgerBob 297]

So what number does he take?

His number in DC, 52, after we trade Ericsson and some forwards.

[Son of a Wing 1,644]

Great term. Fair price.

Really like it.

[amato 3,210]

25 probably? Or trade Ericsson and let him have 52

[Seraph 240]

I like it.

Wasn't he acquired with our pick anyway?

[marcaractac 3,963]

He'll take 25 i'd say

[wingsgirl001 983]

Wow, nice! Welcome aboard, Green!

[xtrememachine1 795]

Great signing! The cap hit is about what I'd expect, not overpayment. Much needed right handed shooter for the PP. Ideally, I'd like to see them get another good d-man, but probably won't happen. Happy with this though.

Great deal. Needed this guy pretty badly and didn't break the bank to do so. 6mill for only 3 years is pretty good and I personally think its below market value for Green.

Nyquist+Smith+Mantha for Shattenkirk

Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Abby

Jurco-Richards-Tatar

Pulkinnen-Sheahan-Helm

Miller-Glendening-Andersson

Kronwall-Shattenkirk

Dekeseyer-Green

Quincey-Ericsson

It wouldn't take both of nyquist and mantha.

Mantha, smith, 2016 1st/2nd.

[Number19 159]

I'm happy as long we can can ship out some of the deadweight and shelter Green with defensive minded Dmen.

It probably would.

Your trade proposal is not realistic for the Blues. They get nothing really for a #1 dman

Babcock was keeping him down

We'd have signed cleary by now if Babs was still here lmao

[MrazekFanBoy 223]

He's not known for playing big minutes, and they don't consider him a number one d-man it could work but they won't move him this year they probably want to make a run.

[GoWings! 179]

Good pickup. Let's hope maybe we can pick up another defenseman.

[GMRwings1983 8,803]

A good signing. I know he can't play defense, but we have plenty of defensive minded defenseman. We just needed one person who can actually move the puck and shoot the puck well. Kronwall has regressed with his shooting.

Plus, Green is a right handed shot.

[Barrie 900]

I don't think the Wings are bringing Green in to be a #1 d-man. As for ice time, he'll probably be #3 behind Kronwall and DeKeyser.

[Hey man nice shot! 144]

Babs leaves and we hit the market lol. Nice to see that we get one of the bigger fish in this years free agents.
