McDonald19 said:well in 3-5 years you guys can have your great all around player i will take the first line 35-40 goal scorer instead (LUPUL).
dumpnchase said:Lupul is not going to get to 40g in today's NHL, 30 is the max for him. We only had 0 50 goal scorers, 3 40 goal, & only 17 30 goal scorers and Lupul is not going to get into the 40 goal list.
Goc: 20-25g/40-50pt + very good defense + great faceoffs + makes players around him better
Lupul: 25g-30g/50-60pt + defense not as good as Goc but alright.
Which would I take? I would want the more complete Goc.
McDonald19 said:Goc:will he stick up for teammates or drop the gloves?
Lupul:already shown to stick up for his teammates and loves to stir things up with the other team.
those things are part of being a complete player too.
ducksflytogether said:Lupul should get 40 goals sometime in his career, fairly easily, even in this era. He has an incredible shot, and at like 19 has the second best shot on the whole Ducks team. It can only go up from here, and it looks as if he'll have a promising future as a goal scorer.
Goc will be a great all-around player in the future, but it likely won't compare to Lupul's scoring prowess. This thread sort of reminds me of the Lupul vs. Upshall threads, where Lupul was considered to get more points, and be the better scorer, but Upshall was considered to be way better all-around.

ducksflytogether said:What I meant was that it won't take him untill he's 37 to hit 40 goals. He should be able to hit it when he's around 25-26.
But yeah, Lupul has an incredible shot. He'll also have many over 20 goal seasons and many 30+ ones too.
It's gonna be great to have him on the Ducks the next couple years.
dumpnchase said:He MIGHT get 40 in this era if he is on a better team but not with the ducks.
