Detroit Red Wings News: What to Expect with Mike Green

The Detroit Red Wings added a player they’ve been looking at for several years in Mike Green. The 29-year-old former Washington defenseman will be paired with Danny Dekeyser and anchor a power play that has lacked a quarterback since the retirement of Nicklas Lidstrom. We enlisted the help of Fan Sided’s Stars and Sticks, a Washington Capitals blog, to provide Red Wings fans a glimpse into Mike Green’s strengths and weaknesses.

Any previous Red Wings – Mike Green connections?

An interesting one in fact. In 2004, the Red Wings dealt a draft pick, and Thomas Fleischmann to the Washington Capitals for then leading scorer Robert Lang.
