According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, Green had several options to choose from, including the Calgary Flames and Toronto Maple Leafs, but ultimately chose the Devils.
It was a tough run for Green in Vancouver. In parts of five seasons with the team, he made the playoffs just once, in 2019-20 when the Canucks were eliminated in the second round by Vegas. Green was head coach of Vancouver from 2017 to 2021.
