'04 Draft Report Card #1

[LadyByngJeanRatelle]

The one guy i think who is really an "underdog" and underrated, ESPECIALLY by hockey's future is Mike Green. Why is everybody so down on him? He played on a crappy team and was incredible. I thought he would be a high pick, i think he'll be great. His poise is great and i think he'll be a future allstar.

Mike Green is a beast. He's solid at both ends of the ice. Probably the best open ice hitter in the WHL. He doesn't have the usual WHL defensemen's frame (6-4, 220), but he's tough as nails, great positionally and very strong lower body. I would be shocked if he didn't make the WJC. I've said it before Washington stole him at 29. He'll be a top 4 minute muncher when he hits Washington.
