Report: Red Wings to re-sign Mike Green, likely to add Bernier

The Detroit Red Wings are reportedly going to retain a veteran defenseman and bring in an experienced goaltender.

Mike Green is staying put and the Red Wings are likely to add Jonathan Bernier on Sunday as well, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.

The goaltender's new deal is expected to be for three years at approximately $3 million per season, while Green's contract will be two years in length, reports The Athletic's Craig Custance.

Green's new cap hit will apparently be $5.375 million, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie.

The Red Wings and Green have been negotiating for some time, with the team most recently zeroing in on a two-year deal, as reported by MLive's Ansar Khan on Thursday.

Bernier has also been on Detroit's radar, with both the club and netminder showing significant interest in a deal, as Custance reported Thursday.

Both players are pending unrestricted free agents.
