Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman made a classic late-night move on the eve of the NHL’s trade deadline by moving defenseman Mike Green to the Edmonton Oilers.
The conditional pick is for a 4th rounder in 2020, which would become a 2021 3rd if Edmonton makes it to the Western Conference Finals and Green plays in at least 50% of the games. While the second condition isn’t all that unreasonable (though Green’s injury history hasn’t been great lately), it’s the first that will really make Red Wings fans groan.
