from Craig Custance of The Athletic,
Green is the second-best defenseman in the free agent Class of 2018. At least if you’re looking for offense. Whether you like his overall game or not, that’s just the reality.
“He had a good season. Teams are always looking for right-shot defensemen. And he’s not 40 years old,” said one NHL source. “If teams are looking to improve themselves on defense this summer through free agency, there’s not much out there.”
And right now, Green is facing a decision. The Red Wings have made him both a one- and a two-year offer to stay in Detroit.
