Fantasy Analysis
Green scored 18 goals last season at the unripe age of 22, becoming the youngest player to lead defensemen in goals since Paul Coffey in 1981-82. He especially flourished after he was reunited early in the season with coach Bruce Boudreau, whose attacking style is a perfect fit for Green's talents. While Green was only owned in eight percent of leagues to start last season, he was owned in 96 percent by the end of the year thanks to his massive offensive output from the blue line. Take him in the first four rounds of your drafts this summer as a clear-cut No. 1 Fantasy defenseman. (Updated 07/01/2008).
