As Mike Green put it himself, there is nothing gray about why he was signed by the Detroit Red Wings.
Green is part of the group that will take on the Chicago Blackhawks tonight at Joe Louis Arena, one night after different groups of the same teams played in Chicago. It is Green's first game since signing an $18-million, three-year contract with the Wings on July 1, ending their search for a top-four offensive defenseman who shoots right.
