I used to be a massive Green fanboy back in his Caps days. Good ol' Calgary boy I got to meet a couple times when he was in town, as my buddy is friends with him. I guarantee he's gonna get ribbed hard by his friends and family now that he's an Oiler.

As for the hockey side I think it's a decent trade for the Oilers. His +/- is nasty for sure though. But the Oilers need a D who can move the puck up the ice quickly, and he can still do that.

Haven't seen the Oilers be buyers in a while, so I'm sure it was also done to reinvigorate the fanbase and Katz.
