Detroit — On the one hand, Mike Green shouldn’t have any trouble fitting in.
Green, the biggest offseason acquisition for the Red Wings in free agency, is the kind of offensive defenseman this team has long sought, a veteran blueliner with a right-handed shot — something that has been missing since Brian Rafalski retired in 2011.
And as Green prepared to make his home exhibition debut Wednesday, he laughed about how his genetic predisposition was helping make his transition to a new team rather seamless.
“For me, pretty much everybody’s left-handed, so I’m an easy pass for everybody,” he said.
