Getzlaf vs Perry
Both are good. Getzlaf is a tad better though. Getzlaf led his team with a +32 compared to Perry's +12. Getzlaf also led the team with 82 points in 77 games compared to Perry's 54 points in 70 games. Getzlaf's point clip in the play-offs (.67). Perry's (.60). Getzlaf is better offensively and defensively.
Gomez vs Drury
Multiple Cup winners that both get it done in the play-offs and regular season. Gomez is a 70 point guy. Drury is a 60 point guy. Gomez's point clip in the play-offs (.71) vs Drury (.70). Gomez is 29 years old vs Drury 32. Gomez is more dynamic than Drury. Gomez also fit in the Big Apple better than Drury. Will he fit in better next year?
Gomez play-off line 10GP 4G-7A-11PTS
Drury's play-off line 10GP 3G-3A-6PTS
Gomez had more of an impact than Drury.
Morrow vs Richards
Morrow established himself in this years play-offs as a rising power-forward that throws the body with authority. Simply inspired the team to the Final Four with his physical play.
B.M Play-off line 18GP 9G-6A-15PTS
B.R play-off line 18GP 3G-12A-15PTS
Morrow is also responsible defensively. Richards while good is just not as good as Morrow is defensively.

Both Ducks deserve huge contracts. Perry is gonna score more goals, Getzlaf will get more assists. I'll take Perry, though, because he is a more clutch player than Getzlaf. He scored 4 GWG compared to Getzlaf's 2, and he may score 40 G this season, so that number may be in the range of 10.
Drury and Gomez are very similar. Gomez fit in a little better last season because he had played his whole career in that market, and he knew how to handle it better. This year, Drury will have the bigger impact. His leadership is incredible, and, without it, I don't know that the Avs win the Cup in 2001, even with the loaded roster they had. Gomez is good, Drury is special.
Career stats: Richards 500 points in 564 games, Morrow 374 points in 573 games. Morrow is the captain, but Richards brings a resume and respect to argue that he could wear the C on a number of teams. Both are tied in Cups, but BR has a Conn Smythe on his resume, and he is a more electric player that BM. I'll take Richards.

1st off. Drury played with Forsberg in Denver. (AKA one of the most complete players the NHL has ever known). I give him credit,but not that much as you do.
BR brings in a more impressive PAST RESUME yeah,but he's still a career minus player(-57) vs BM(+119). I want a player that doesnt get beat defensively. Thats very important in today's game. BM plays a more complete game. BR does not. BM is also entering his prime. BR's career is on the decline. His last 3 seasons point totals 91-70-62. Will he drop below the 50 point mark? Its looking that way. 62 points is very low for a 7.8 million per year player.
Cogliano vs Hemsky
Hemsky is the franchise player right now. Cogliano is the future. Cogliano needs more seasons to truly bloom. Its Hemsky's time right now. The Oil rely more on Hemsky at this point in time.
Roy vs Vanek
Roy is the team leader. He posted 32 goals and 49 assists for 81 points this season. Roy is also steadily increasing his production. His last 3 seasons 57-63-81. Is Vanek over the pressure of his contract yet? You know he struggled mightily last season.
I'll take a complete player in Getzlaf than Perry,who struggles at times defensively.
wtnelson = Big Chief said 08/14, 12:28 AM
BR played on pretty bad defensive teams in TB, even with Boyle in the mix. They're goaltending hasn't been bery good since the Bulin Wall left, and the main weapons there were #4 and #26, who don't need any help to score.
Cogliano, who I am sad to say is 2 days younger than me, showed his clutch, big-game ability last season when he scored overtime goals in 3 straight games. He had an excellent rookie season, and, even at 19, is the guy the Oilers look to in the clutch.
Vanek has posted 104 goals, 18 of them GWG's, and +36 in just 3 seasons in the NHL. With the knowledge that their franchise goalie is in the fold, he can rest easy knowing that at least one piece of the puzzle will be there for a long time. Yes, he struggled last season, but he still poured in 36 goals for a weakened Buffalo squad. I'll take those as "struggling" numbers any day of the week.

I know. He does it every time. Kinda defeats the purpose of a TD to just vote based on which option you like better rather than base it upon the arguments.
