Who is the first after the big tree?

If you grab Green with your 4th pick then the 5th pick is Getzlaf then you just gave 20 points to a competitor. I get what people are saying about having a point per game D, but points are points and with my 4th pick over all I don\'t want a player who maxes out at 80 points and doesn\'t take a lot of PIM... nor is he considered consistent yet. I drafted Phaneuf early last season and it was a wasted pick.
I\'m not sure I like this logic. Grabbing Green over Getz isn\'t giving up 20 points to the guy with Getz. It\'s gaining when Green outscores the next d-man by 20.
Grab Green and gain 20 on the next D-man in the NHL, then grab a forward that puts up ten fewer than Getz when the guy with Getz is taking his first D and you\'ve gained overall.
Sure, Green could have a rough year (like Phaneuf as mentioned), but so could whichever F you grab. Bad luck is bad luck.
Go with Green. To me, the only other option is a goalie, but I\'d gamble on there\'s still being a quality starter in the next round or two.
