Not good news from NHL insider Aaron Ward:
Hearing Mike Green is out again tonight (injury) vs Canes. Doesn’t help Detroit Red Wings cause trying to get trade deadline audition minutes. #TFP

No morning skate today for #RedWings. Mike Green (upper-body injury) will miss his fifth game in a row.

Do we think he is legit injured or that they were keeping him out to prevent an injury that could affect trade value?
My understanding is that he has a sore neck.
My guess is he is healthy enough to be traded but his value is going to take a hit because of this. A week ago it seemed certain we would get a first round pick for him. Now I’m hoping for a 2nd and expecting a 3rd.
I’ve been expecting 2 2nds for a while now. I just don’t think he’s going to fetch a 1st round pick.
