The NHL trade deadline implications were clear when Detroit Red Wings defenseman Mike Green, playing on a one-year contract, was a healthy scratch before Sunday night's game against the Calgary Flames.

And indeed, a few hours after the Wings' 4-2 loss to the Flames, Green was on the move. Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman agreed to a deal with former Wings GM Ken Holland, sending Green to the Edmonton Oilers for veteran center Kyle Brodziak and a conditional draft pick, according to a release by the Wings on Sunday.
