[Trade] Oilers acquire Mike Green (50% retained) for Kyle Brodziak and conditional 4th

[CaptainCrunch]

Green is atrocious without the puck so the Oilers picked up a pp specialist who can't play even strength.

Sounds like the Oilers know there team is a tire fire 5 on 5 and need to make sure they score on the PP if they have a chance. If their PP dries up they are toast.

Just looked at Green’s numbers. I don’t think he’s been a legitimate offensive threat since 2010.

For a guy who is supposedly all offence his numbers aren’t that great, but honestly at that price it’s not a terrible pickup for Edmonton.

I believe he has a home in Calgary, granted it was the off season but I had a friend do some electrical work at his house here. This was 3-4 years ago however.

Kinda of an interesting pickup for their first place run. I would have thought the Holland would have gone for a more defensive dman. Not sure their powerplay can even get better, I would be worried about doing anything to that powerplay.

Klefbom is out for a bit still.

I like him as a mentor to Bear to help run a PP.

I’m wondering if this doesn’t open up a Lagesson or Russell or a dman trade.

Can't wait for the 3 year extension.

What kind of a return do you forecast for Lagesson?

No clue. But when Klef comes back and if Russell does too there’s a log jam of dmen.

Larsson Klef
Bear Nurse
Jones-Benning
Russell-Green
Lagesson

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.

Russell on LTIR potentially opens some cap space depends how long he’s out for.
