He then joined the Oilers for 81 games over two seasons before he was traded to the New York Rangers on December 12, 2002. Just over a month later, Green was picked up off of waivers by the Washington Capitals. He completed the 2002-03 season with the Capitals, then signed with the Calgary Flames on July 17, 2003.
