Sure I'll take it

That's just a little more than we got for Smith. That's 2nd rd pick is probably going to be one of the last 2 picks in the round. If we aren't asking them to give up a prospect they can pony up a 1st rd pick.

But what if they don’t? Are you gonna keep Green?

I don't know? We are keeping half of his salary and they aren't stuck with him if it doesn't work out. I like Green and what's going to happen with the rest of our D. Rumors is we are buying out Ericsson and Ouellet is already out the door. Even if Kronwall comes back for the last season of his contract his knees aren't going to be any better. Even after we probably won't give Green the money to keep him. So once again I don't know. One thing I do know its time someone new is making these decisions.

That's a very good point.

Nope either Detroit gets Tampa's 2018 1st round pick or Callan Foote or no deal, It's as simple as that for Mike Green.
