Edmonton Oilers acquire puck moving defenseman

Edmonton Oilers GM Ken Holland got an early jump on the trade frenzy late Sunday night by acquiring defenseman Mike Green from the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for forward Kyle Brodziak and a conditional pick in either 2020 (4th round) or 2021 (3rd round).

The 34 year old Mike Green has scored 501 points in 878 regular season games. Ken Holland also signed Green to a massive UFA deal in 2015. Green is a UFA at the end of the year. This may be just the first deal of many for both teams, stay tuned.
