ANAHEIM, CA - The Edmonton Oilers announced the acquisition of defenceman Mike Green from the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for Kyle Brodziak and a conditional 2020 fourth-round draft pick during Sunday evening's game.
"Detroit is retaining 50% (of Green's salary and cap hit)," said General Manager and President of Hockey Operations Ken Holland post-game. "It's a fourth-round draft pick in 2020 and it goes to a third in 2021 if we advance to the final four (2020 Western Conference Finals) and if Mike plays 50% of the playoff games in the first two rounds of the playoffs.
"I think for a fourth-round draft pick, we have good protection on the back end."
