Oilers' Mike Green: Traded north of border

The Oilers acquired Green from Detroit in exchange for Kyle Brodziak and a conditional draft pick Sunday.

The Oilers are in a heated playoff race and Green will provide some veteran blue-line depth. The 34-year-old has three goals and 11 points in 48 games this season and should get second-pair minutes in Edmonton. Green will be a free agent this offseason.
