When Green was last healthy (coincides with OVs last great season) he was ranked #10 and 11 overall.
you give Kesler a pass last season when hurt, but say Green has lost a lot of game.

Letang was injured and only played 51 games last year and still put up decent totals.
Kesler only scored more than 26 g once, that 41 g season a few weeks ago.
Kesler's value lies in his pims, hits but he has had 3 surgeries on 3 different body parts (hip, shoulder, wrist) in basically 1 season so not sure he can continue to play physical. The injuries he has had are general wear and tear, not freak injuries.
Moot point since I would not trade Letang because I use him to hedge against the teams with Malkin and Crosby.
