I know I was thinking the same thing, when I picked Letang I had a hard time not picking green but I went with my gut. Doughty went ahead of green too!

I was going to take Letang if you hadn't. I was so pissed you took him haha. I knew Seadawg would take Green from how he has liked him in previous leagues.

Staal, Kopitar, Kane went a few picks ahead of me in Round 2. Then Letang went in Round 4. Lots of frustration haha.

Crazy what people's perceptions are. Green fell to me at 31 or whatever in the UHL too and probably would have fell further if I didn't take him.

Malkin, Parise, Crosby, Getzlaf and others all have bad/injury-plagued seasons (for the second straight season in the case of Malkin and to a lesser extent, Getzlaf) and their draft position remains unchanged. Green has one bad season after 3 elite seasons and he falls 30+ spots down peoples draft lists. Insanity.

It's not just injuries with Mike Green IMO. This is jut my opinion, but I feel he has always been overrated simply due to the team he plays for. Now that they aren't as dominant looking, there are other options who may be better right now. I was def going to take Green if he wasn't snatched up before me though.

The way he puts himself in positions to get hurt is what concerns me about him.

Yea, there's definitely a boom/bust element to him. Just saying in prior years he was a sure-fire top 5 pick in most leagues and now every draft I've seen/taken part in he's fallen out of the top 30.

It's probably because everybody says in their head "naw I'll just pick this guy and see if Green falls", and everyone has that mentality for every pick once he starts falling some more, until someone grabs him. I know I did that.

Yep. Drafts are an interesting thing, you can plan as much as you want but once you go into the draft you never know what's going to happen.

In the last one I did, I was planning on making a lot of safe picks and grabbing a few gambles late. Green fell to 31 so I took him, after seeing some of the guys picked in the third round I grabbed [another dude] way earlier than I planned as I didn't think he would make it to my next pick, and then [some other guy] fell to me in the 4th so I grabbed him. So I went in trying to play it safe and ended up using 3 of my early picks on two boom/bust defenseman and a young unproven player.

Shhhh, Byfuglien hasn't gone yet in this pool.
