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.

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.

Yeah, for me it was definitely weighing risk/benefit. Green...to me....despite the better up side, was more of a risk than Yandle. Not that any player is a sure thing, but....I guess I'd rather have a reliable (perceived, anyway) 45-50 point guy, than one who might hit 65-70?
Coming down the first round I really wanted Getz and Giroux at 1.10 and 2.1, but once Shakes snagged Getz I figured I might as well get goalie out of the way. Somewhat early I think in this draft, but I didn't mind the slight reach here cuz Price will anchor my team quite well.
Same at the end of round three it was semin and st louis on my board, but having st louis snagged lead me to Yandle.
@SmittysRant
There have been some stretch picks but that is normal with no trading. Price might have been a little early but I doubt he would have gotten back to you.
